Today, a delegation from the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe, headed by President Mr. Carlos Manuel Vila Nova, arrived in the city of Turkmenbashy to participate in the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries.

As reported on the website of "Turkmenistan Airlines", the plane with the high-ranking guest landed at the Turkmenbashy International Airport, where President Carlos Manuel Vila Nova and his accompanying delegation were solemnly greeted in the best traditions of Turkmen hospitality.

The Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe is an island state in the Gulf of Guinea of the Atlantic Ocean, located 300 km west of the coast of the African continent. The country's economy, traditionally dependent on cocoa cultivation, has recently undergone significant changes associated with investments in the development of oil fields in the waters of the Gulf of Guinea.

The participation of the President of the Republic of Sao Tome and Principe in the UN forum opens up opportunities for developing mutually beneficial cooperation with landlocked developing countries and developing common solutions on important issues on the global agenda.
