The Portuguese Prime Minister José Socrates is now on day 2 of his official 3 day visit to Cape Verde. Upon his arrival at Praia International Airport he revealed to the press that he would like to propose an even more ambitious agenda than had originally been set out by the government of Cape Verde. Proof that the set agenda was already ambitious is the fact that accompanying José Socrates is a 120 person committee comprised of 7 cabinet ministers and select elements of their staff, members of the Portuguese business community including representatives from Caixa Geral de Depositos , Central de Cervejas and Autosueco (Inaugurating a subsidiary in Cape Verde during this visit), as well as members of the press. Political and financial analysts have commented that this is a clear demonstration of a new mature relationship between Portugal and Cape Verde, where the one has ceased simply to aid the other and both are now working toward a relevant economic investment partnership.
