Miguel Albuquerque, president of the Regional Government of Madeira, announced this Wednesday that the Region is developing efforts to strengthen air links with the United States. During the visit of the US ambassador to Portugal, John Joseph Arrigo, to Madeira, Albuquerque pointed to Miami as one of the destinations that could be served in the future through new air routes.
The president of the Regional Government highlighted the "excellent relationship" between Madeira and the United States, considering the country a "friend" of the Region. This diplomatic visit comes in the context of an effort to deepen ties between the archipelago and the North American power.
In addition to strengthening air links, Albuquerque also advocated for the strengthening of trade relations between Madeira and the United States, identifying this partnership as an opportunity for the economic development of the Autonomous Region.
