MAYOR KALISZ TO WELCOME PRIME MINISTER OF CAPE VERDE
TO NEW BEDFORD
(New Bedford) – Mayor Frederick M. Kalisz, Jr. will welcome the Prime Minster of the Republic of Cape Verde to New Bedford next week. His Excellency José Maria Pereira Neves and the government delegation accompanying him will be in New Bedford on Monday, July 11th, as part of a ten-day visit to the United States, which begins tomorrow.
Mayor Kalisz said, “Once again, we are extremely proud and honored to welcome Prime Minister Neves to New Bedford, a city rich in Cape Verdean heritage and culture. The contributions made to the city of New Bedford by those of Cape Verdean heritage continue to strengthen the fabric of our community.”
“This visit gives the Cape Verdean American community a wonderful opportunity to affirm its interest in strengthening those existing ties with Cape Verde and to convey their views directly to Prime Minister Neves and members of his cabinet,” said Adonis Ferreira, the city’s Director of Cultural Affairs.
The visit of Prime Minister Neves will include a community meeting at the UMASS Star Store building from 11 a.m. to noon, a flag raising ceremony at City Hall at 1:00 p.m., and visits to the Ernestina, the New Cape Verdean Band Club, the Bisca Club and the Cape Verdean American Veterans Association. The community meeting and flag raising are open to the public.
On July 13th and 14th the Prime Minister will visit Washington, DC to promote the signed historic Millennium Challenge Account Compact between the governments of Cape Verde and the United States. He will meet with federal officials and will participate in a reception offered by the Cape Verde Embassy welcoming the Diplomatic Corps, U.S. Government Officials and the Cape Verdean Community of the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan area in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Independence of Cape Verde.
Prime Minister Neves last visited New Bedford in September of 2003.
