São Tomé and Príncipe’s Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada begins an official visit to Mainland China tomorrow, where he will sign newly struck co-operation deals between the two nations, Lusa reports.
“We will sign a number of agreements; one of general co-operation with China, and others aimed at specific projects in specific sectors,” the Portuguese news agency quoted Mr Trovoada as saying.
The week-long tour is the first state visit by the São Tomé and Príncipe leader since diplomatic ties were restored in December.
“This visit to China will mark a milestone in our bilateral relations, as well as an important step regarding the economic development of São Tomé and Príncipe, especially in the field of infrastructure,” Mr Trovoada said.
