Unlocking trade opportunities between the two countries will be top of the agenda later this year when a high-powered meeting takes place between representatives of Zimbabwe and Brazil.

The meeting, slated for December, is set to strengthen the relationship between the two nations and further their cooperation in such fields as education and culture.

A Zimbabwean trade delegation travelled to Brazil in May last year to look at business opportunities in particularly the mining, agriculture and energy sectors – with biofuels an emphasis in the last.

Representatives of both countries agreed that mutual collaboration would benefit future generations.
