Brazil anticipated to be signing energy sector cooperation agreement with Israel

Brazil is likely to sign an energy sector cooperation agreement with Israel during President Jair Bolsonaro's visit to the Middle Eastern country later this month, Brazilian Mines and Energy Minister Bento Albuquerque said on Tuesday.

Albuquerque said Israel is working in a variety of areas that are of interest, including offshore oil exploration and desalination, but did not give details on what a potential agreement might contain.
