On behalf of the President

We are pleased to welcome the Prime Minister and Head of Government of São Tomé and Príncipe, Patrice Emery Trovoada, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Communities, Gareth Haddad do Espirito Santo Guadalupe.

The Foreign Ministry pointed out that the visit of the Santotomian delegation seeks to strengthen cooperation and friendship, in the context of Bolivarian Peace Diplomacy, based on relations of respect and self-determination of peoples.

Caracas and Sú Tomé formalized relations in 2006 and maintain cooperation links in the education sector, of which 11 students graduated in Integral Community Medicine, as part of the International Students Program of the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho Foundation.
