Under the terms of the agreements, the CPB will continue to exchange information and technical and organisational knowledge with the three NPCs to help them develop.

The partnership will also see Brazilian coaches, classifiers and technical officials help train athletes and staff from Chile, Ecuador and Peru.

"Cooperation is in the DNA of the Brazilian Paralympic Committee," said CPB President Andrew Parsons.

"Over the last 15 years, we have grown a lot, but it is important to share this with the whole world, and especially with our neighbours.

"That is the reason why we are very happy to renew this corporation agreement, where we are only formalising a friendly relationship we already have.

"Our aim is to help them become self-sustainable so that they can reach a very good level in the near future.

"To sign this agreement is a pleasure, an honour and an expression of friendship amongst the countries."

Some of those working in Para-sport in Chile, Ecuador and Peru will travel to Brazil to learn from the CPB.

"It is so important to sign this agreement with the CPB," added Lucha Villar, President of the Peruvian National Paralympic Committee.

"Brazil is a role model for the rest of the NPCs.

"They have been supporting us for some time already and have helped us develop the Paralympic Movement in Peru."

The agreement was finalised amid the fourth edition of the Youth Parapan Games in São Paulo, which concluded with a Closing Ceremony at the Exhibition Pavilion of the Anhembi Events Center on Saturday (March 25).

Brazil finished top of the medal table with 66 golds, 41 silvers and 32 bronzes.

They were followed by Colombia with 47 golds, 38 silvers and 24 bronzes, and Argentina with 22 golds, 30 silvers and 16 bronzes.

During the event, a record number of more than 800 athletes from 19 countries competed across 12 sports.
