The official spokesman of Portugal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the media that the family persons of diplomatic and consular personnel, as well as the "non-essential" staff in India and in Pakistan, are arriving back home some time this week, a decision made in consonance with similar measures taken by Great Britain and other European Union countries. The Secretary of State for the Portuguese Communities Abroad, on being questioned, informed that it is still too early to speak of "repatriation", which however may come to occur later, depending on the evolution of the Indo-Pakistan crisis.
It was also revealed that in Pakistan, besides the diplomats and their family members and the crew of a C-130 Portuguese aircraft which carries on missions in Afghanistan, 30 Portuguese nationals are registered, most of them of Goan origin; while regarding India, there are 2,500 Portuguese citizens registered in Goa, 35 in New Delhi and 14 elsewhere in the country.
