Portugal presented the official website as candidate for a seat on the United Nations Security Council for the two-year term 2027-2028, an initiative that reflects the country’s commitment to multilateralism in a particularly trying international context where the UN’s role is more relevant than ever before.

As a European, Atlantic, and global country, Portugal proposes to bring the Security Council a voice of balance, cooperation, and openness to the world, contributing in a constructive manner to the promotion of international peace and security. This ambition is based on a clear and coherent vision around three fundamental priorities: Prevention, Partnership, and Protection.

Loyal to its bridge-building tradition, Portugal intends to uphold respect for international law, reinforce mediation and preventive diplomacy, foster a more articulated and complementary multilateral system, ensure the protection of people in more vulnerable situations, and actively contribute towards protecting the planet.

The website offers detailed information on the candidature, its strategic vision, the priorities undertaken and the visual identity that follows this campaign, including a video explaining the concept and elements that inspired the logo. This identity reflects a country that is open to the world, committed to dialogue and guided by principles of peace, cooperation, and shared responsibility.

Boasting experience, credibility, and a sense of mission, Portugal is prepared to take on responsibility in the United Nations body that is pivotal in maintaining international peace and security, strengthening its prestige and presence on an international level.
