Tocantins 247 - During a visit to Tocantins last Sunday, the 5th, the governor of Piauí, Wellington Dias (PT), visited the Tocantins Historical Museum (Palacinho) and the Prestes Column Memorial, in Palmas.

This was not Wellington Dias' first visit to Tocantins. For the governor, it is important that every Brazilian knows their own country. "I came with my family to see friends and relatives; we are enchanted by the beauty of Tocantins. Visiting the museums allows us to learn more about the history and culture of one of our neighboring states," he concluded. The indigenous cultural aspects received a special attention from Wellington Dias, who was the first governor elected in Brazil to declare himself a descendant of indigenous people.
During the visit, the governor of Piauí emphasized that Tocantins is the only state that borders his state and still does not have paved access roads between them. "We have already coordinated with Governor Marcelo Miranda (PMDB) to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. The works in our state have already begun, and soon both states will have their borders paved," he added.
State Representative Paulo Mourão highlighted Piauí as one of Tocantins' main partners, particularly for expanding the agricultural frontier between the two states and for the socio-economic development of the region.
According to the Secretary of Education, Adão Francisco, the visit of the governor of Piauí was very positive. "The governor's visit allowed for an opening of dialogue between the two states, creating an opportunity for us to discuss both cultural initiatives and educational projects," declared the secretary.
Cultural advisor Cláudio Nogueira highlighted the importance of exchange between different states of the Federation. "It is very important that we create a space for cooperation and exchange with other states. This way we can share successful experiences and contribute mutually to strengthening the Brazilian cultural landscape," he concluded. (With information from Seduc)
