Dear reader Today we have two news related to the Lusophone Society of Goa (LSG) that we'd like to highlight. The first refers to a visit to Goa of the Commission of Economy and Development of the National Parliament of East Timor which was completed successfully. The visit was without doubt a milestone in the relations between East Timor and Goa/India re-establishing the existing special historical relations. At the end of the visit the Commission of Economy and Development of the National Parliament of East Timor and Lusophone Society of Goa (LSG) agreed to create a joint committee Goa-East Timor with representatives of both parties. This joint committee should coordinate the exchange of information, contacts and subsequent projects between Goa and Timor-Leste.

The exhibition consisted of 61 photographs dated between 1880 and 1895 and belonging to the Portuguese family Mascarenhas Gaivão, which collected them, as if they were consistent with a portuguese journey. The trip begins in Egypt, continues in India (Mumbai, Daman, Nagar Haveli and Goa) and ends in East Timor. The images of former Portuguese State of India were of especially interesting to us. The pleasant conversation we had with the curator of the exhibition José Pessoa coached us on some interesting aspects of this exhibition.

A primeira refere-se à visita a Goa da Comissão de Economia e Desenvolvimento do Parlamento Nacional de Timor Leste que foi concluída com sucesso. A visita foi sem dúvida um marco histórico nas relações entre Timor Leste e Goa/Índia reestabelecendo as estreitas relações históricas preferenciais existentes. No final da visita a Comissão de Economia e Desenvolvimento do Parlamento Nacional de Timor Leste e a Sociedade Lusófona de Goa (LSG) concordaram em criar uma comissão mista Goa-Timor Leste com representantes de ambas as partes. Esta Comissão Mista deve coordenar a troca de informações, os contatos e os projetos subsequentes entre Goa e Timor-Leste.

Eram 61 fotografias datadas de entre 1880 e 1895 e pertencentes à família portuguesa Mascarenhas Gaivão, que as coleccionou, como se estas correspondessem a uma viagem de portugueses. A viagem tem início no Egipto, continua na Índia (Bombaim, Damão, Nagar-Aveli e Goa) e termina em Timor. Interessaram-nos sobretudo as fotografias do antigo Estado Português da Índia. A agradável conversa que tivemos com o curador da exposição José Pessoa elucidou-nos sobre alguns aspetos interessantes desta exposição.
