In his message, the prime minister defended that “the work of the United Nations in defense of peace, human rights and a more inclusive and sustainable world is indisputable”.
“And his role in overcoming global challenges is irreplaceable,” he added.
On the social network Twitter, António Costa also pointed out that the army is commemorating the conquest of Lisbon in 1147 by its patron D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal.
“I congratulate all the women and men, officers, sergeants, soldiers and civil servants, who serve the country there selflessly. In peace-support operations or when responding to emergencies in support of the civil protection system, the Portuguese know that they can always count on their army.” the Prime Minister insisted.
