Luanda - President João Lourenço received on Friday in Luanda a high-level delegation from the United States television network CNN, led by its vice president, Phil Nelson.
In the audience with the Angolan Head of State, the executives of the American media giant referred to Angola as a country with good stories to tell, and therefore it will remain on the radar of its editorial team.
In particular, the delegation pointed to the fact that Angola will soon assume the presidency of the African Union, which, according to a note from the Press Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, will increase the country's reputation and visibility.
Another notable fact that will enrich the editorial agenda around Angola will be the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of national independence, an event to which CNN will pay closer attention.
During the conversation between President João Lourenço and Phil Nelson, one of the issues raised was the possibility of creating CNN Angola, with studios and broadcasts from the national territory.
