Libreville  - Angolan President  João Lourenço arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the XXIII Summit of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), on the political and security situation in the region.

The Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) will also examine aspects relating to the economic nature of the organisation.

The Summit was preceded by ECCAS Council of Ministers that  reviewed the issue of funding of this regional community.

The meeting also analysed the appointment of members of the ECCAS Committee of Wise,  including the roving ambassador Dombele Mbala Bernado, representing the Republic of Angola.
