José Manuel Bolieiro highlights youth's role in welcoming Portuguese-American students
The President of the Azorean Government, José Manuel Bolieiro, received a group of 10 Portuguese-American students attending Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, USA. Accompanied by professors Gregory DeMelo and Yulia Stakhnevich, the students are visiting the Region for an educational and intercultural experience. This visit aims to deepen their knowledge of the Azorean reality and strengthen cultural and identity ties with their origins. José Manuel Bolieiro emphasised the importance of this initiative for strengthening relations between the Azores and the diaspora, underlining that young people "are the main actors of tomorrow" and their ties to the land of their ancestors are crucial for preserving the Azorean cultural identity. The head of the Azorean Government also emphasised that the Azores are increasingly establishing themselves as a "region of opportunities," with the potential to attract new generations in areas such as education, tourism, science and sustainability. Their visit is an opportunity to foster a sense of belonging to their Azorean roots and build a bridge between generations. For José Manuel Bolieiro, these actions are essential to ensure the continuity of Azorean identity in emigrant communities and strengthen the emotional and cultural ties between the diaspora and the archipelago. The programme includes visits to the University of the Azores, a secondary school, the Carlos Machado Museum and the Sahar Hassamain synagogue, the latter being a landmark in Ponta Delgada's history. In addition, students will have the opportunity to explore the stunning natural scenery of São Miguel Island with tours to Sete Cidades, Nordeste and Furnas. Young visitors have already shown their fascination with the natural beauty of the Azores as well as the dynamics and potential the Region has in various areas. This experience provides a deeper contact with their roots and an opportunity to inspire new perspectives and projects. José Manuel Bolieiro emphasised that the Azores play a crucial role as promoters of innovation, culture and sustainability, highlighting that "the future depends on young people, their energy and creativity." For the President of the Azorean Government, this type of exchange helps to create ties that go beyond the present, allowing new generations to view the Azores as not just the place of their origins but also as a space of possibilities and growth.

José Manuel Bolieiro calls for peace and harmony at New Year's reception
At the traditional New Year's reception held at the Conceição Palace in Ponta Delgada, the President of the Regional Government, José Manuel Bolieiro, called for the promotion of peace and the development of a culture of understanding between peoples and individuals, highlighting the importance of 2025 as "a moment of inspiration for the humanitarian spirit." He emphasised the need for a collective effort to end the conflicts that plague the world, addressing global leaders in particular. "We must humbly contribute, through our everyday gestures, to building a world where peace prevails over war," he said. The head of the Azorean Government noted that democracy must be closely linked to diplomacy as an essential tool for solving conflicts and promoting global understanding. The President of the Government also expressed his wish for 2025 to be a year of greater harmony in all dimensions of life. "We want more peace, coexistence and understanding among families, companies and nations. Only then can we aspire to a prosperous future for all," he stressed. José Manuel Bolieiro also wished prosperity for the Azores and all Azoreans, highlighting the importance of working together to accomplish the Region's goals and aspirations. At a highlight of the reception, José Manuel Bolieiro offered a word of appreciation for the work carried out by the United States Consul in Ponta Delgada, Margaret C. Campbell, who took up her duties in July 2022. The President underlined the collaboration between the Consul and the Azorean Government in various areas, emphasising the importance of these partnerships for the Region's development. "The work of Consul Margaret C. Campbell has been an honour to the Azores. Her dedication in various areas is an example of what can be achieved through cooperation and dialogue," he stressed. For her part, Margaret C. Campbell reciprocated the praise, acknowledging José Manuel Bolieiro's leading role and the positive impact of the Regional Government on the global stage. She highlighted initiatives such as the approval of the Azores Marine Protected Areas Network (RAMPA) and efforts to protect the oceans, referring to the Azores as "an example to the world." As a symbol of this spirit of collaboration and optimism, José Manuel Bolieiro and Campbell shared a toast to the New Year, renewing their wishes for a promising future for the Azores and the world. "We all have a role to play. It is the small gestures of each person that, together, can make a difference in building a more peaceful and fair world," stated José Manuel Bolieiro. In an event marked by symbolism and hope, the President of the Government made his vision for 2025 clear: a year when peace, prosperity and understanding between peoples are goals to be achieved, both in the Azores and in the rest of the world.
