The President of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Rubens Hannun, affirmed that “the need to build direct shipping lanes is growing in light of the spread of the (Covid-19) pandemic, which has cast a shadow on global markets, and from this standpoint we look forward to getting closely acquainted with the different ideas, aspirations and viewpoints about how to take the initial steps that pave the way to achieving our goals by creating shipping lanes that support economic and commercial activity." He pointed out that "the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has been at the forefront of calling for the establishment of Brazilian-Arab shipping lanes, not only for the purpose of promoting trade activities between the two sides, but also in order to reduce costs and create new business opportunities at the global level." In this context, the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Union of Arab Chambers, is organizing a symposium entitled “The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the Arab Logistics Industry: Challenges & Opportunities for Arab-South American partnerships” on 12 August.
