President Leonel Fernandez is traveling to Brazil via Miami this Friday, 15 June to meet with Brazilian president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva and business sector representatives. Fernandez's trip to Brazil comes at a time of increased relations between the two nations. Brazil recently offered to help the DR with an ethanol fuel production project and Brazilian businesspeople have been visiting the DR in search of investment opportunities. Fernandez is scheduled to visit San Salvador de Bahia and then make his way to Rio de Janeiro where he will meet with executives from the Oderbrecht construction company that has been contracted for dam and aqueduct construction projects in the DR. He will also be meeting with executives from Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras). Fernandez will then travel to Sao Jose dos Campos. His trip will end in the Amazon city of Manaus.
