Vice President of Chamber of Commerce of Abu Dhabi Receives Brazilian Delegation During AUDI BUSINESS TRIP

-- Continuing with schedule of bilateral meetings in the United Arab Emirates, LIDE executives were received by Khalfan Saeed Al Kaabi

SAO PAULO, Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CEO participants in the fourth edition of the AUDI BUSINESS TRIP taking place from November 10th to 17th have attended a meeting with Khalfan Saeed Al Kaabi, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce of Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Convened by the Grupo Doria and organized by LIDE - Grupo de Lideres Empresariais [Group of Business Leaders], the AUDI BUSINESS TRIP has master sponsorship by Audi.

According to Al Kaabi, it is a matter of the utmost importance for the country to receive the Brazilian delegation. "We have few human resources in Abu Dhabi. They are not sufficient to provide for the needs of all sectors, and so partnerships with countries such as Brazil are essential," observed the Vice President. "The Chamber of Commerce of Abu Dhabi has more than 5 thousand active members, taking into account various sectors and needs. Meetings at this level enable our members to connect to the rest of the world," Al Kaabi pointed out.  

For the President of LIDE Internacional, Luiz Fernando Furlan, Brazil has sufficient size to restrict itself to domestic commerce.  However, the country wishes to establish alliances with the Emirates. "We hope to be able to do more business together.  We are here to discover the Emirates, and the Emirates also need to discover Brazil.  We now have daily flights, and intend to increase their frequency to facilitate this partnership," Furlan concluded. 

In the assessment of LIDE President, Joao Doria Jr., the meeting at the Chamber was very positive. "The encounter allowed us to better understand what the Emirates have to offer to Brazil, and what Brazil can offer to the Emirates," he commented. 

The AUDI BUSINESS TRIP has master sponsorship by AUDI, and sponsorship by APEX-BRASIL and QUALICORP, with support from BRF, NIELY and EMBRAER; participation by AMAZON BEVERAGES, ALMAP/BBDO; GRUPO ARTEB, ATHIE WOHNRATH, CISA TRADING, GRUPO GOCIL and GRUPO SERSON; and the collaboration of BULGARI and DUDALINA.
