Sri Lanka-Brazil trade expansion mooted

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Foreign Trade Chambers Federation Rio de Janeiro of Brazil.

President of the  Brazil’s Foreign Trade Chambers Federation Rio de Janeiro Paul Marcondes Ferraz  has stated at a media briefing during the MOU signing ceremony held in the presence of Ambassador for Sri Lanka in Brazil Dr. Mahinda Balasooriya, that private investors in Brazil will see this as an unique opportunity to work with Sri Lankan business conglomerates.

The Chamber of Commerce has taken steps to penetrate the Brazilian market considering many opportunities that would emerge as a result of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil hosting two mega events, the FIFA Football World Cup 2014 and the Olympics 2016.

A large number of tourists are expected to visit Brazil to witness these two mega events resulting many new opportunities for Sri Lankan business community to explore with members of the Foreign Trade Chambers Federation Rio de Janeiro – Brazil.(niz)
