Luanda - Delegations from the republics of Angola and Portugal will hold official talks this Friday in Luanda within the framework of strengthening historic bilateral cooperation relations.
According to a note to which ANGOP had access, the delegations from the two countries will be led by the ministers of Foreign Affairs of Angola, Téte António, and of State and Foreign Affairs of Portugal, Paulo Rangel, the latter who will disembark in the Angolan capital this same Friday (20).
Still within the framework of his trip to the country, as a result of the common historical legacy, the Portuguese government official will pay a visit to the project to requalify the military plots, at the Santa Ana Cemetery, the same day (21) that he leaves the country.
Bilateral Cooperation
The two countries established diplomatic relations in March 1976, after Angola's declaration of independence on 11 November 1975.
Two years later, in 1978, the two States signed the General Cooperation Agreement, from which date bilateral relations intensified and several other legal instruments of cooperation were signed in the most diverse areas.
The Portuguese-Angolan relationship is characterized by political dialogue and regular high-level visits, thus demonstrating the common desire to deepen the relationship between the two States, with mutual benefits for their people.
The political dialogue is structured around a Joint Intergovernmental Commission, created in 2017, which aims to promote the development of the bilateral relationship, monitor bilateral instruments and carry out consultations on topics of common interest, both at the bilateral level and multilateral.
In recent years, several dozen legal instruments have been initialed in the most diverse areas. The relationship between the two countries also benefits from their common membership in the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP). SC/DOJ
