The next summit of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) will be a "moment of reflection" on what can be improved in the organization.

The guarantee was given on Sunday by the Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau, Geraldo Martins, who was speaking to journalists at the end of the swearing-in ceremony of the new government.

"I think that the next summit will be another moment of reflection on our organization, on what can be done to improve it and how countries can engage more strongly in the process of consolidating it and, therefore, we hope that this summit will be an important one," said Geraldo Martins.

Geraldo Martins did not confirm his presence at the summit, which will take place in São Tomé and Príncipe, but said that Guinea-Bissau would be represented by the head of state.

"I don't know yet if I'll be able to attend, but in any case the government will be monitoring its preparation and I'll probably be able to take part," he added.

The CPLP summit, which takes place every two years, will be held on August 27 in São Tomé and Príncipe, with the host country holding the rotating presidency of the organization for two years.
