During the occasion in Miami, special recognition was given to Ambassador André Odenbreit for his continuous support of the initiatives promoted by Oxford Group USA and BSWFCC, an organization in which he had the honor of serving as Honorary President. Throughout the years, he consistently demonstrated strong support for projects focused on economic development, business expansion, and the strengthening of bilateral relations between Brazil and the United States.
