The CPLP is a bloc in the process of construction and the societies of the eight member nations have little knowledge of each other. One of the unique features of the CPLP is that its members are linked by a common language and shared cultural features, which form a bridge between countries separated by great distances and different continents.

The importance of CPLP The Portuguese-speaking countries are home to more than 223 million people located across the globe but having similar cultures and a shared history. The CPLP nations have a combined area of about 10,742,000 km,2 which is larger than Canada.
Since its formation, the CPLP has helped to solve problems in São Tomé and Príncipe and in Guinea-Bissau, because of coups d'etat in those countries. These two problems were solved, and in fact, have helped these two countries to take economic reforms (in the case of São Tomé) and democratic ones (in the case of Guinea-Bissau). A coup détat (pronounced /ku deta/), or simply a coup, is the sudden overthrow of a government, usually done by a small group that just replaces the top power figures. ...
The leaders of CPLP believe that peace in Angola and Mozambique as well as East Timor's independence will favour the further development of the CPLP and a strengthening of multilateral cooperation.

Free Movement of People The eight Portuguese-speaking nations signed agreements to facilitate the cross-border circulation of their citizens, including multiple-entry visas for businesspeople and others who travel frequently, a streamlining of the requisites and fees paid for short visits, and the right to medical treatment and residency permits for all CPLP citizens in every one of the member countries.
However, a proposal for the adoption of common citizenship failed because Angola and Mozambique opposed. The statute, which is already in force between Brazil and Portugal, would provide equal civil and political rights for the citizens of any nation of CPLP. However the main obstacle to this proposal is the fear of large scale immigration to Portugal, a member state of the European Union. Free movement among CPLP countries could jeopardize the duties of Portugal within the EU, as it did with Brazil in early 1990s, with the other EU member states made pressure to Portugal tighten its borders in relation to Brazil as the borders within the EU were being dismantled, which opened a short diplomatic problem between the two lusophone nations.
In 2005, Portugal created a special corridor and services in its Lisbon airport for the travellers from the other CPLP nations, as well as the one that exists for the EU citizens.

When the CPLP was formed, Equatorial Guinea also asked for observer status. Equatorial Guinea has some territories where Portuguese-based creole languages are spoken and cultural connections with São Tomé and Príncipe and Portugal are felt. Also, the country has recently cooperated with Portuguese-speaking African countries and Brazil at an educational level. At the CPLP summit of July 2004, in São Tomé and Príncipe, the member states agreed to change the statutes of the community to accept Equatorial Guinea as an observer. Morocco also became interested in an observer status. Portuguese creoles are creole languages which have been significantly influenced by Portuguese. ...
