A highlight of the meeting was the swearing-in of new council members, who now join the select group responsible for strengthening Brazil's international business relations.

Among the various topics discussed, the strengthening of Brazil-China relations stood out. This topic was expertly addressed by IBREI's Institutional Ambassador to China, Daniel Lau. The discussion about business opportunities and cooperation between the two countries generated great interest among participants.

Another key topic was the Fake News Bill currently under consideration in Brazil's National Congress. IBREI's Data Protection Officer (DPO), André Faustino, led discussions about the institute's contributions to improving this important legislation for combating misinformation and protecting digital privacy.

Additionally, IBREI's contributions to the Tax Reform and Fiscal Framework projects were presented, with these topics being led by the institute's Director of Government Relations, Rafael Bernardi. The debate about these legislative initiatives aimed to promote a more favorable environment for business and corporate competitiveness in Brazil.

The IBREI Business Council Meetings serve as a valuable space for dialogue and developing proposals focused on strengthening the business sector and expanding Brazil's trade relations. With a diverse and relevant agenda, the Council's work reaffirms IBREI's commitment to contributing to the country's economic growth and improving the business environment, while fostering knowledge exchange and strategic international partnerships.
