A group of executives from the Dalian Commodities Exchange (DCE) visited the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange on May 12 and 13. The Chinese delegation, lead by Liu Xingqiang, president of the Dalian Exchange, visited Brazil with the objective of discussing possible partnerships between the two exchanges.
During the visits, the Chinese executives toured the Exchange's trading facilities and had meetings with the CEO, Edemir Pinto; the Chief Business Development Officer, Paulo Oliveira; the International Director, João Lauro; and the Commodities Director, Ivan Wedekin.
