THE BRAZIL-MONGOLIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LAUNCHED

The Brazil-Mongolia Chamber of Commerce (BMCC) was officially registered on June 27 to start operating in the country. With a team of six members plus advisors, the BMCC’s mission is to promote trade and investment activities between Brazil and Mongolia, and to assist on the development of closer ties connecting the two nations’ business communities.

According to Higor Uchoa, CEO of the BMCC, the first ideas to foment business projects between the two countries date back to 2014, when along with the Chamber’s current Directors Koji Suzuki and Unurjargal Tsegmid, an association was designed to promote cultural exchange among Brazilians and Mongolians. “Unfortunately, some of us had to leave Mongolia by 2015 and the project didn’t come through. But now we have a unique opportunity in our hands, since the Mongolian Embassy in Brazil closed its doors in the past year”, says Uchoa.

The opportunity the CEO refers to is of creating an organization that could represent and link both countries, given the great increase their networking has achieved in Mongolia making it possible to strengthen the plans of the Chamber to be created, through the support of entrepreneurs and Government agents from both nationalities.

When it comes to the contributions the BMCC can bring, Uchoa believes it will boost the trade potential of Brazil and Mongolia, including in the areas of mining and farming where both countries have great potential. He added that “this can result in several business possibilities of technology exchange and good practices. Furthermore, our Chamber also represents the first step towards creating a future local organization to incentive trade relations with other Latin American countries.”

Aware of the social and ambiental issues that Mongolians face, the non-profit also aims to promote not only business trades between Brazil and Mongolia, as well as activities that will benefit the local population in getting better conditions of life. The first social event is being planned for September this year, and will be announced by the Chamber.
