Welcome to the Official page of the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic

Entrepreneurial cooperation focused in the Presidential visit

The President paid homage to the victims of terrorism and took part in a meeting of Spanish and Portuguese entrepreneurs

Two homage ceremonies, one to the Fallen for Spain and the other to the victims of terrorism – in which a musical piece was performed by a soloist of the Gulbenkian choir – and a welcoming session in the Madrid City Hall – where he received the Keys to the City – began the second day’s programme of the State Visit of President Cavaco Silva to our Spanish neighbours.

After this, the President of the Republic took part in the closing session of the COTEC Conference – “The COTEC organizations in support of the cooperation between Portuguese and Spanish enterprises” – in the headquarters of the Spanish Confederation of Entrepreneurial Organizations (CEOC).

Later, the Presidential couple was honoured with a luncheon in the Moncloa Palace by the Head of the Spanish Government and Mrs. Rodriguez Zapatero.
