Brazil welcomes expansion of ties with Iran: Envoy

Speaking with a group of athletes in Abadan, he said closely observing economic, political, and sportsmanship in the city plays significant role in identifying the untapped potentials in the region.

'Abadan is very rich in terms of industry, tourism and export of goods and commodities,' Santos added.

Since people in Abadan are fan of Brazilian style football, this can help broaden sports cooperation between the two sides, he said.

People in Brazil and Abadan are very similar in terms of loving football, Santos said.

'I will do my best to bring experts in various sport fields to Abadan to enhance the knowledge and experiences of the people,' he said.
