According to the state-owned company, the document contains the main terms and conditions for the operation and was signed by the President of Petrobras, Aldemir Bendine, and the President of CDB, Zheng Zhijie, during a ceremony held at the company’s headquarters.
Alongside the signing of the term sheet, the drafts of the financing contracts are already being negotiated, and include the implementation of a trade agreement to supply oil to Chinese companies, in similar terms to the contracts signed by the two parties in 2009, Petrobras added.
