The Portuguese Government announced the candidacy of Mr. António Vitorino as Director-General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), for a second mandate at the head of this important International Organization.

The decision to support António Vitorino's bid reflects the priority given by Portugal to an humanist approach to migration and multilateral cooperation. The outstanding performance of the current DG as IOM Chief in the past almost 5 years was also a factor for this decision of the Portuguese Government.

The statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is available here.
