Seventy Arab and other personalities ignored invitations to a dinner in Sao Paulo in honor of Prince Abdul Rahaman Abdul Assiz, brother of King Faisal. Of the 220 invited, only 150 attended. Abdul Assiz is visiting major Brazilian cities, presumably looking for large investments. He is also distributing donations for local Arab organizations and mosques.
At the same time, Mansour Shallita, head of the Arab League office in Brazil, announced an Arab-Brazilian seminar to be held in Rio at the beginning of 1974. Investments and oil supplies will be discussed at the seminar. This development is seen here as the first step in the activities of the Federation of Arab Entities of the Americas, created last Oct. at the first Arab Pan-American Congress in Buenos Aires. The goal of the federation is to deny Latin American political support to Israel.
