"New oil fields have recently been found and explored and now we are exerting great efforts to revive Brazilian ship-building industry and develop transportation route. All of this is possible in terms of developing Russian-Brazilian co-operation", da Silva said during a meeting with Russian Preisdent Dmitriy Medvedev on Friday.
