Vasco Futscher Pereira ReprSsentant permanent du Portugal aupres de 1'Organisation des Nations Unies 777 THird Avenue, 27th Floor Hev/ York, N.Y. 10017 The President of the Republic Lisbon, 17 February 1981 Mr. Secretary-General In the last few years Portugal has had the opportunity to contribute importantly to the work of the United Nations, especially during its recent term as a member of the Security Council. With the inauguration of a democratic regime, the adoption of an open foreign policy and a close attachment to the principles contained in the Charter of the United Rations — all of which has been reaffirmed in the programme of the present government — there is every reason to expect a continued and close co-operation between Portugal and the United Nations. On the other hand I greatfully acknowledge the attention Your Excellency has paid to Portuguese matters before the United Nations or matters in which Portugal is an interested party. For the reasons above Your Excellency was invited to visit Portugal in 1979, which was unfortunately not possible to be implemented at that time. I now have the greatest pleasure in reiterating the invitation for an official visit to Lisbon, on a date that you may agree upon with the Portuguese Government, and which could be in the near future. Accept Mr. Secretary-General the expression of my highest consideration. (Signed A. Bamalho Eanes) " 3 X LL MISSAO PERMANENT^ DE PORTUGAL JUNTO DAS NACOES UNIDAS NC 19 N EW YORK The Permanent Representative of Portugal to the United Nations presents his compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honour to transmit, under separate cover, a letter addressed to the latter by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Portugal General Antonio Ramalho Eanes.
