Recebi hoje o Primeiro-Ministro de Cabo Verde, Francisco Carvalho, que escolheu Portugal para a sua primeira deslocação oficial ao estrangeiro.

Ambos concordámos que Portugal e Cabo Verde são ainda mais do que parceiros próximos: somos países irmãos, unidos pela língua, pela cultura e pelos valores que partilhamos, pela afinidade tão particular entre os nossos povos e pelas importantes comunidades que acolhemos nos nossos territórios. 

Já fazemos muito em conjunto, mas com Cabo Verde queremos fazer sempre mais. Será esse o caminho que continuaremos a trilhar, juntos. 🇵🇹 🤝 🇨🇻
