Portugal reaffirms its commitment to the full implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). We adopted last August our national plan of action to contribute to the implementation of that document at the national, regional and international policy levels. The drafting of this national plan of action involved a one-year long participatory process, which encompassed wide- ranging governmental contributions together with broad and public consultations with universities, non- governmental organizations, media and other relevant civil society sectors and international networks.
