Another step was taken to strengthen trade relations between Brazil and Ireland. Last Wednesday (14), the Chamber of Deputies approved the Draft Resolution 10/21 that creates the Brazil-Ireland Parliamentary Group.
The project is authored by former deputy Geninho Zuliani and establishes that the group will aim to increase parliamentary diplomatic relations to seek a foreign policy with greater participation of the Legislature.
Potential to boost bilateral trade
The project rapporteur, Prof. Paulo Fernando (Republicanos-DF) said that cooperation between the two countries has significant potential to boost bilateral trade.
He also highlighted that the two countries have dynamic and complementary economies, which, in a way, ends up creating opportunities for strategic partnerships in many sectors.
It is also worth mentioning that the prospects for cooperation in the areas of education, science and technology have expanded after the creation of the Science without Borders (CSF) program.
It significantly stimulated exchanges between the academic communities of both countries, and the result was that since 2016, the number of Brazilians living in Ireland has quintupled.
Group composition
The new Project provides that the group will be composed of members of the National Congress, not generating any financial burden for the Chamber of Deputies.
It will be governed by its own bylaws, which will still be approved by the members, with provisions that must respect the legal and regimental prescriptions in force.
This will bring much more strengthening between the two countries, and obviously, the Brazil-Ireland Chamber of Commerce will have a significant weight in relations.
In a way, it will be an organization that will allow for greater approximation to create public policies that strengthen entrepreneurship between the two countries.
Strengthening trade between Brazil and Ireland
The growth and strengthening of relations between Brazil and Ireland is notorious, and this is what has been calling the attention of the authorities of both countries.
When we created the Chamber of Commerce, we did not imagine that in such a short time a parliamentary group would be created to deal with issues related to the relations between the two countries.
This comes to strengthen relations even more, and will certainly give us more strength to get projects off the ground and seek support to help small Brazilian entrepreneurs living in Ireland.
These are small actions that gradually take shape and transform relations between the two countries. I am sure that in the coming years we will make a great leap forward to further encourage Brazilian entrepreneurship in Ireland.
