The president made it clear to reporters that Antonio Costa would travel to London this Sunday to “meet with the British Prime Minister on Monday.”
The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and Portugal are set to conclude a global political agreement in London on Monday.
“A major agreement is being prepared between the two countries with a particular focus on defense, foreign policy, science, higher education and climate change, especially maritime affairs,” Foreign Minister Joao Gomez told Lusa. At the end of his visit to the Royal Prompton Hospital in Gravinho, London, he was accompanied by President Marcelo Rebello de Sousa.
The signing of the deal will depend solely on the recovery of Antonio Costa, who had to cancel his presence at the celebrations in Prague on June 10 between Friday and this Saturday.
However, a senior official said that the Portuguese executive’s leader was “continuing a very positive recovery” and that he was likely to leave for London on Sunday, where he would arrive early in the morning.
Also, this Saturday, the President, in front of the press, took it for granted that Antonio Costa would travel to London on Sunday to “meet with the British Prime Minister on Monday.”
A meeting with Boris Johnson at 10 Downing Street is scheduled for Monday at 1 p.m.
In connection with the bilateral agreement still in production, the Foreign Minister pointed out that cooperation in the field of trade is a matter regulated by Brexit, the UK exit agreement from the EU.
Therefore, as long as they respect the agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom, the Portuguese-British trade reaction will be deep.
