The actor and member of the Portuguese Diaspora Council, Ricardo Pereira, received in the beginning of April the award Ordem de M\u00e9rito, given by the Portuguese President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.<\/p>\n
This is one of the highest award that the Government of Portugal can offer to citizens as a way of distinguishing them for their worth in different areas. The distinction was delivered by the Ambassador of Portugal in Brazil, at Pal\u00e1cio S\u00e3o Clemente, in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was honored and moved with such a distinction. Obviously, I have a lot of pride in my work developed until now, but I also assume a bigger responsibility from now on in the promotion and diffusion of the Portuguese values and traditions and my role will be even more active in the cultural spread between the two countries and of Portugal in the world\u201d, stated the Portuguese Counselor.<\/p>\n
