Petrobras and Bolivia Discuss Partnerships in the Hydrocarbon and Renewable Energy Sector During the Mercosur Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Jean Paul Prates Reinforces the Importance of These Alliances for Petrobras.
With Brazil’s leadership since July of this year, the meeting of the Mercosur, held in Rio de Janeiro, addressed trade agreements, such as that with Singapore, as well as the ratification of Bolivia’s Accession Protocol to the bloc.
The creation of the bloc occurred in 1991, with the purpose of promoting integration among the countries in the region and establishing trade, political, and diplomatic partnerships to boost investments. Mercosur consists of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
This is the third time that Jean Paul Prates has met with the Bolivian government in 2023. In August, the president of Petrobras had the second meeting with Bolivia’s president, Luis Arce, to discuss potential partnerships and projects during the Amazon Summit, which took place in Belém, Pará.
