Deputy head of mission at the Brazilian embassy in Dhaka Leonardo de Oliveira Jannuzzi said that Brazil could be a gateway in the future to connect Bangladeshi private sector businesspersons with Latin American markets.

‘We have great potential to expand trade, commerce and investment in Brazil and Bangladesh to increase connectivity and interaction between the private sectors of our two friendly countries,’ he said.


The Brazilian diplomat made the remark in his speech as chief guest at a meeting arranged on the occasion of the June 15-18 ‘Made in Bangladesh Expo-2025’ exhibition to be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at the RCCI auditorium of Rangpur Chamber Bhaban on Saturday.
