UAE, Brazil eye stronger trade, tech, and renewables ties: President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met with his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Abu Dhabi during the Brazilian leader’s working visit to the UAE, state news agency Wam reports. The talks focused on ways to deepen cooperation between the two countries, with discussions covering economic, trade, and development ties, as well as advanced technology, renewable energy, space, and logistics.

The two presidents also reviewed progress in negotiations between the UAE and the Mercosur bloc — South America’s main trade bloc led by Brazil — toward a comprehensive economic partnership, which they said has entered its final stage. It was reported in September that a UAE-Mercosur agreement could be finalized within months.
