Iran, Brazil Set to Explore Ways of Boosting Trade Ties

Brazil’s Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply Tereza Cristina is scheduled to visit Iran later this month to discuss ways of boosting trade ties with the Islamic Republic.
“The Brazilian government has announced that it intends to increase its relations with Iran. Tereza Cristina is the first minister of the incumbent Brazilian government to visit Iran,” Fakhreddin Amerian, the head of the Iran-Brazil Chamber of Commerce, was quoted as saying by the news portal of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
The visit is scheduled to begin on Feb. 18.
Noting that Iran hopes to increase exports to Brazil, Amerian said a group of businessmen will be accompanying the Brazilian minister to buy petrochemicals from Iran.
