Luanda - The Head of State, João Lourenço, returned to the country on Sunday afternoon from Zimbabwe, where he participated in the work of the 44th ordinary SADC Summit.

At the meeting, João Lourenço handed over the presidency of the organization to his counterpart Emmerson Mnangagwa, President of Zimbabwe, after a year in office.

Speaking at the summit, he said that, during Angola's mandate in SADC, the region had made considerable progress in the energy and transport sectors in the field of infrastructure development to support regional integration.

He pointed out the gains in terms of shared water resources, Information and Communication Technologies and meteorology.

In view of this, he pointed out that the SADC region currently has 86% mobile network coverage, and is already very close to achieving the goal of 95% for 2030.

Internet access in the region is estimated at 54%, which means that more than half of the SADC population use this communication system.

He reasoned that all this is due to the dynamics of collaboration between member states, which have solidly organized themselves to invest in digital infrastructure, reduce the cost of services in this field and promote digital literacy.

João Lourenço closed his programme of activities in Harare on Sunday with a visit to the construction project of the Museum of African Liberation (MLA) and the SADC Monument and Liberation Square in Harare.

The occasion also served to witness the official handover of the land for the SADC Monument to the Institute of African Knowledge (INSTAK), as the entity responsible for the project, and the launch of the construction works.

The delivery of the space took place through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Knowledge Institute. ART/DOJ
