Yesterday, our team gathered at Restaurant Elm for a farewell lunch to honor Ambassador Francisco Vaz Patto and Dr. Kevin Colleary. Over the past four years, their professionalism, dedication, and care for both their work and our team have made a lasting impact.
Kevin and I were very happy to be able to say goodbye to some of our friends also in #Estonia!
Thanks Guillermo @en_estonia for organizing such a wonderful evening!
We will miss you all!
Thank you Minister @Tsahkna! It was a pleasure and honor to serve as Ambassador of Portugal to #Estonia. Aitah!

After a week of joint farewells, yesterday we went to embrace the distinguished Ambassador 🇵🇹 Francisco and Dr. Kevin, who will soon depart from Finland.
It was a lovely meeting filled with their characteristic good vibes and professionalism, in which I'm sure they found the affection sown during this years.
Our deepest gratitude to both of them for the shared experience and for the friendship between our families.
All the best to you both, and specially for your new duties dear Francisco!

A very interesting afternoon conversation with my Indian, Brasilian and Portuguese colleagues and friends. A good opportunity to put current events in a global perspective. You will be missed @FVazPatto and Kevin!
Helsinki Running Ambassadors bid farewell yesterday to a special colleague & friend, Amb. @FVazPatto 🇵🇹, who'll be doing his running in Lisbon from next month. He's been running with the group rain or shine, or lots of snow, for the past 4 years. The third photo, from one of his first runs in Feb. 2021, attests to that. Muito obrigado for the friendship & camaraderie dear Francisco. Both on and off the running routes.
Feliz Natal!
Merry Christmas!
O Kevin e eu desejamos um Feliz Natal para todos os nossos amigos e família!
Kevin and I wish a Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!
