New protocol of partnership intentions for visas in the areas of trade, science, technology and sustainable development

The Government of the State of São Paulo has renewed the cooperation agreement with Canada. The new agreement supports cooperation in the areas of trade, sustainable science and technology, ESG, justice and public safety, as well as culture and the creative economy. The protocol of intent took place on the third day (19), during the visit of a Canadian delegation to the Palácio dos Bandeirantes, led by the Canadian Ambassador to Brazil, Emmanuel Kamarianakis.

The Secretary of International Trade, Lucas Ferraz, spoke about the main projects of the São Paulo government. “We pay particular attention to sustainability issues and I think it could not be any different, given global conditions and the great concern that all countries face today regarding climate change and the transition green. We believe that Brazil, São Paulo and Canada have many opportunities to work together to create synergy between our two countries,” Ferraz said.

Canada’s Ambassador to Brazil, Emmanuel Kamarianakis, stressed that the country must seek strategic partnerships. “The agricultural capacity of Brazil and São Paulo is of fundamental importance to us. “We are investing heavily in agricultural technology and believe there is a natural connection between these pathways,” he said.

Kamarianakis was accompanied by Caroline Charette, Consul General of Canada in São Paulo. The delegation was received by the Secretary of International Trade, as well as by representatives of the Secretaries of Culture and Creative Economy, Environment, Logistics and Infrastructure, and by Ambassador Irene Vida Gala, representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in São Paulo.

Economic development, sustainability and the state’s investment portfolio will also be discussed at the meeting. “We hope that this partnership will bear many fruits. “We know where our companies are and where our investors are, and we want to continue expanding this connection with the State of São Paulo,” concluded the ambassador.
