We consider as high priority to promote this meetings with associations as the Portuguese Diaspora Council to comply this aim. It is evident that Portugal has many professionals dispersed in the world and that share a common goal, that our country be more recognized in the whole world, and that this implies to gather the biggest number of associates that show that vocation to build more Portugal, more Spain and, finally, more Iberia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>And also stated: \u201cBoth countries have an increasingly common agenda, the Portuguese exportations to Spain increased in the past years more than 20% and, mutually, Spain exports to Portugal more than the whole South America together, what shows the active interaction in all levels.

Portugal tem sido um pa\u00eds que deu novos mundos ao mundo e sua bem sucedida voca\u00e7\u00e3o de abertura ao mundo exterior \u00e9 bem reconhecida&#8221;. With a base in the traditional definition that &#8220;uma institui\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 uma ideia que persiste no tempo&#8221;, Francisco Ribeiro de Menezes reminded that, after five years of the beggining of the Portuguese Diaspora Council &#8220;a associa\u00e7\u00e3o mant\u00e9m a sua vitalidade e estamos aqui para desenvolver com todos a sua potencialidade&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Como Embaixador de Portugal na Espanha&#8221;, added, &#8220;estou consciente de que\u00a0<strong>a tarefa de internacionaliza\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o pode depender unicamente dos meios estatais<\/strong>, e n\u00e3o deve ser. As rela\u00e7\u00f5es entre pessoas, empresas e sociedades devem ser muito mais amplas. Os governos devem definir um quadro pol\u00edtico legal, mas \u00e9 a sociedade que tem um papel mais importante para desenvolver essas rela\u00e7\u00f5es diariamente.

Filipe de Botton highlighted that the council was born &#8220;sob o princ\u00edpio da complementaridade, trabalhando em conjunto com a rede diplom\u00e1tica e com o objectivo comum de melhorar a imagem de Portugal no mundo. Ao juntar-se a esta rede da di\u00e1spora portuguesa, acrescentou, permite afirmar Portugal como uma marca, e, atrav\u00e9s dos Conselheiros, influenciar positivamente os c\u00edrculos onde interagimos, representando os interesses do pa\u00eds no exterior&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Portugal \u00e9 hoje um pa\u00eds seguro, com uma cultura totalmente aberta \u00e0 diversidade, que nos permite actuar de forma diferente e responder em diferentes \u00e1reas, como a inova\u00e7\u00e3o tecnol\u00f3gica, a educa\u00e7\u00e3o, o turismo ou desporto, com uma capacidade de di\u00e1logo institucional entre muitos outros, e onde\u00a0<strong>Portugal e os portugueses s\u00e3o reconhecidos como um exemplo<\/strong>\u00a0a seguir, destacados pela &#8216;mass media&#8217; internacional. Portugal est\u00e1 a passar por um momento muito positivo mas n\u00e3o devemos deixar-nos cair numa euforia inapropriada.
