IPDAL marked the beginning of summer with a reception at the Sky Bar of the Tivoli Lisboa Hotel.

On July 19th, several personalities attended the IPDAL initiative. On the terrace of the Tivoli Hotel, the Secretary of State for Justice, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several members of the diplomatic corps from Latin American, European and African countries, businesspeople and sponsors of the Institute were present.

At this event, which took place in a typically Latin American environment, every detail was taken into account. The Latin American embassies collaborated with IPDAL and displayed some traditional products, typical costumes, drinks, gastronomy and even the music was in Latin rhythm.

In a brief speech, the President of the Institute, Paulo Neves, stated that the success of this event requires that it be repeated again. Thus, the invitation is made for a year from now.
