Establishing a worker mobility agreement between Sal, in Cape Verde, and Vila Real de Santo António, was one of the topics addressed during a visit that Júlio Lopes, mayor of that Cape Verdean municipality, made to VRSA this week.

According to Álvaro Araújo, mayor of VRSA, who received the Cape Verdean delegation at the Paços do Concelho, on Monday, the two municipalities “are planning the development of collaborative projects in the area of tourism, and are also the establishment of a mobility agreement between workers from the two countries should be considered».
Also on the table was «the possibility of promoting the visit of a delegation of Portuguese businessmen to Cape Verde, in order to share synergies».
Júlio Lopes, for his part, considered that “tourism and the fishing sector are fundamental assets that unite the two municipalities and foster their close relations”, having also defended that, “more than cooperation between municipalities, this twinning above all, it must unite the populations and entrepreneurs of the two countries».
In addition to being received by the municipal executive and council presidents of the municipality, the Cape Verdean delegation, which also included the councilor of the municipality of Sal with the responsibility for Youth and Sports, Euclides do Rosário, and the Ambassadors of Sal, Altino Ferreira and Ildo Rocha, got to know various municipal facilities and infrastructure, namely the VRSA Sports Complex.
