Angola wants to further enhance cooperation with Vietnam’s Party
and people in all areas, especially in economics, trade and investment.

Vice President of the People’s Movement for the Liberation
of Angola (MPLA) Roberto Victor De Almeida made the remarks at his
talks with Le Hong Anh, Politburo member and Standing member of the
Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee’s Secretariat in
Luanda on August 29, the last day of Le Hong Anh’s three-day visit to
Angola.

The MPLA Vice President expressed his admiration for
Vietnam’s cause of national liberation in the past as well as the
country’s significant achievements in the renewal process and national
construction and defence.

He was grateful for the valuable
support of the Vietnamese Party, State and people given to Angola,
especially in education, health care and agriculture.

In
reply, Le Hong Anh briefed his host of his talks with Secretary of the
Central Committee for External Affairs of the MPLA Afonso Van-Dunem.

He affirmed that Vietnam will do its utmost to step up the
friendship and comprehensive cooperation with the Party and people of
Angola, particularly in the areas of each side’s strength such as oil
and gas, telecommunications, agriculture, health care, education and
construction.

He expressed his hope that the Angolan
Government will continue creating favourable conditions for the
Vietnamese community to settle down in the country.

Later in
the day, the Vietnamese delegation met with Candida Teceira, member of
the MPLA Central Committee, Minister of Science and Technology and
Chairman of the Sub-committee of the Vietnam-Angola Joint Committee.

Earlier on August 28, the Vietnamese Party official and his
entourage visited Bengo province where they were received by Joao
Bernardo De Miranda, Politburo member and First Secretary of the Bengo
provincial Party’s Committee.

During the meeting, the two
sides agreed to boost cooperation in agriculture, particularly in the
production of rice and coffee and the exchange of agricultural experts.

The same day, Le Hong Anh met with staff of the Vietnamese
Embassy in Angola and representatives of the Vietnamese community in
the country.

Late on August 29, the Vietnamese delegation
left Angola to continue with their trip, which will take them to
Nicaragua and Cuba.-VNA
