Sao Tomé and Principe looks forward to welcome Hungarian tourists
Change language:
Sao Tomé and Principe is a small island country in the Gulf of Guinea, not far from the coast of Africa. The country inherited its interesting name from the Portuguese colonist time. The colonists have brought people from other colonies in order to populate the islands. The two hundred thousand people on the islands are their descendants. Sao Tomé and Principe achieved independence in 1975. The country’s ambassador, Maria d’Assunção de Barros Amaral Aguiar, was one of the honorary guest of the Africa Expo.

Why did you come to Budapest?
I am here in Budapest because the embassy of Sao Tomé and Principe in Brussels represents my country in Hungary as well. This event provides an excellent opportunity to build and strengthen connections in the region. I was also interested in Hungary. This is the first time I visit Budapest, and I am very much impressed by the beauty of the city, since the architecture is very extraordinary here.
How do you see the opportunities in the relationship between the two countries?
There’s been a very agile, excellent honorary consul in Budapest for a while now.
