On July 27, at the Palácio de Belém, the new Advisory Board of the Portuguese Diaspora Council, of which Isabel Capeloa Gil, Rector of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, is a member, was presented to Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of the Republic.
The non-profit association has been working since 2012 to strengthen relations between Portugal and its diaspora, with particular emphasis on its Euro Africa Forum platform.
The meeting was held as part of the annual meeting of the Diaspora Council, on the eve of the start of the Euro Africa Forum 2022, which took place Thursday and Friday, under the theme: "Strengthening the EU-Africa alliance in times of disruption".
