“Our cooperation and friendship is based on the principle of equal treatment, mutual respect and cooperation with significant gains”, said the diplomat, stressing that this relationship does not only happen at a bilateral level, but also multilaterally for the satisfaction of both parties.
“I will make every effort, together with colleagues, to deepen these friendly relations, as well as increase and strengthen cooperation in various areas, in order to benefit both peoples”, pointed out.
The Cabo Verde head of state also received credentials from the ambassadors of Japan, Izawa Osamu.
Also accredited were the diplomatic representatives of Algeria, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, and Greece.
With the exception of Chinese diplomatic representation, which has an embassy in the city of Praia, the other ambassadors have a fixed residence in Dakar, Senegal.
