I address the bereaved Family my deepest condolences.

General Soares Carneiro was a highly distinguished officer of our Armed Forces, with a brilliant career connected to the setting up of the Commando Troops, which later led him to the performance of the superior duties of Chief of the Armed Forces General Staff, and was in every circumstance, an outstanding figure due to his notable capabilities of leadership and for his promotion of military culture and values.
