“I would like to share with you this moment of celebration, to praise the uninterrupted progress made by the People’s Republic of China since the second half of the 20th century”, wrote Lourenço.

Lourenço expressed, on his own behalf and on behalf of his people, the desire to maintain the spirit of cooperation between Luanda and Beijing, “strengthening the traditional ties of friendship, based on international solidarity”, to “inspire a new dynamic of cooperation”.

In statements to the Angolan National Radio (RNA), the Chinese Ambassador to Angola, Gong Tao, said that his country remains interested in consolidating strategic cooperation with Angola in the productive sector and in carrying out investments.

The granting of scholarships and other professional training offers is another point that will continue to mark Angola-China cooperation, the diplomat added.
