Portugal’s political and economic relations with Angola, Mozambique, and Macau are significant in the 21st century, as the three countries have geopolitical importance. Angola, located in Western Africa, Mozambique, in Eastern Africa, and Macau in Asia, provides a possible economic route connecting the three continents together.The relations root back to the shared colonial past, leading to their “friendship” in the modern world with Portugal. This research explores Portugal’s bilateral and multilateral ties with these countries, resulting in opportunities for the future; however, it also confronts challenges.Despite the history, the diplomatic and economic relations between the three countries strengthened in the post-colonial era. However, China's constantly growing influence is not helping Portugal to achieve its future goals of creating a special bond with the Lusophone countriesthrough the platform, CPLP, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries. Portugal relies heavily on Angola’s oil and Mozambique’s natural gas exports, whileMacau is a crucial economic bridge between Portugal and China, as since 1999, Macau has been aSpecial Administrative Region of China. On the other hand, this process is held back by several factors. Portugal has been lagging behind in being the primary trading partner of all three countries due to its poor economic status. China’s influence in Angola and Macau, and South Africa’s influence in Mozambique, overrule Portugal’s impact. The aim of this study is to understand the future relations of Portugal with the three countries while analyzing the obstacles. Portugal’s historical ties alone are insufficient to ensure strong relations with them. Moreover, its economy in the 21st century is extremely unstable, which limits its ability to adapt to global challenges. On the other hand, as a member of the EU, Portugal has a significantinfluence on tightening the relations by directing the policies towards Angola, Mozambique, and even Macau. This study will follow a structured approach to analyze Portugal's strategic interests and foreign policy decisions, highlighting its engagement with Angola, Mozambique, and Macau.
