Africa-Press – Angola. The Zimbabwean ambassador to the country, Thando Madzvamuse, said this Wednesday that his government has “very excellent relations with Angola” and will explore and promote new areas of cooperation in Huambo province.
According to the diplomat, who was speaking to the press, after an audience with the governor of Huambo province, Lotti Nolika, the interest of the Zimbabwean authorities is essentially aimed at boosting the areas of agriculture and education.
“We are here in the Angolan province of Huambo, a region with countless potential (…), because we think it is important that cooperation has to become something more tangible, otherwise it is useless”, he declared.
