During a recent visit to Belgrade, Sao Tome and Principe’s Prime Minister, Emeri Trovoada, emphasized the shared objectives and significant potential for collaboration between his country and Serbia.
Following a meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, Trovoada highlighted ongoing joint initiatives and expressed optimism for the fruition of various projects.
Trovoada underscored Serbia’s influential role in Africa, noting the mutual benefits of a robust economic partnership. “Serbia’s consistent foreign policy and its focus on mutually beneficial cooperation are crucial,” he said, adding that such collaboration could significantly benefit both nations’ economic entities and companies. He also pointed out the opportunity presented by EXPO2027 for cultural exchange and further engagement.
Acknowledging Serbia’s investment in new technologies, Trovoada expressed his country’s desire to contribute to this progress. He stressed the importance of not just mineral resources but also human capital, advocating for stronger ties in the educational sector between the two countries and broader connections with Africa.
Reflecting on the enduring foundations of this partnership, dating back to Yugoslavia’s era, Trovoada identified four key areas for cooperation: administration, security, defense, and education. This visit marks a significant step in reinforcing the long-standing relationship between Sao Tome and Principe and Serbia, paving the way for future collaborations.
