The Portuguese Diaspora Council held two important meetings in the United States this May.
May 19 – Washington, D.C.
This gathering included the participation of Portuguese-American Congressman Jim Costa, marking a significant moment of political and institutional dialogue with the Portuguese diaspora in the U.S.
May 22 – New York City
The second meeting took place in New York, continuing strategic discussions and reinforcing collaboration between Portugal and its global communities.
The event also featured a surprise performance by artist Rute Ventura, adding an artistic and symbolic layer to the occasion.
These meetings underscore the Council’s ongoing commitment to recognising the value of the Portuguese diaspora and its role in Portugal’s international engagement.
