Iran-Brazil parliamentary friendship group resumes work after two years

According to Hossein Qaribi, the Iran-Brazil parliamentary friendship group has resumed its activities after nearly two years following the 2018 parliamentary elections, Tasnim reported on Monday.

The ambassador made the announcement in a message to mark the 198th anniversary of Brazil’s independence.

He said the new friendship group comprises 93 senators and representatives of various political parties and is run by a new presiding board.

In early April, when Qaribi took office as Iran’s new envoy, President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro called for plans to enhance economic cooperation with Iran in the post-coronavirus era in order to make up for the losses caused by the pandemic.
