It was an honor to join fellow Portuguese elected officials and community leaders for a productive lunch with Portugal's Secretary of State for the Portuguese Communities, Dr. Emídio Sousa. 🇵🇹🤝
These conversations strengthen the ties between our local Portuguese community and Portugal while celebrating the rich heritage that continues to shape Elizabeth.
A special thank you to Valenca Restaurant for the outstanding hospitality and authentic Portuguese cuisine. 🇵🇹🍽️
