Al-Hourani hinted at the necessity of activating cultural work between Syrians and Brazilians along with printing books and translating them into the languages of the two countries. Brazilian Ambassador Santos, in turn, proposed holding a symposium on books by Syrian writers in Brazilian universities, receiving a quick response.
Santos noted that this visit is the first to establish joint work between parties in the two states in terms of creating cultural, literary, and intellectual exchange.
