Therefore, consider that the “brother country” is an “essential actor to address issues of world peace and security and also as a partner in the development of the countries of Africa and of Angola, in particular”.
João Lourenço concludes the message to his counterpart, released by the press secretary, reiterating the firm desire of his executive to “continue striving so that the two countries permanently maintain the great friendly relations that unite them”.
