Africa-Press – Angola. Angola hosts, for the first time, in September, the 23rd Conference of Lawyers of Southern Africa, announced, in Caxito, the President of the Angolan Bar Association, during the inauguration of the provincial delegation of Bengo of that body.
Luís Paulo Monteiro said, Friday, that the country will host the 23rd SADC Conference “Lawyers”, an organization that brings together lawyers from the 16 countries of Southern Africa, where various problems related to the class in the region will be discussed.
“It will be a conference with diversified themes, but it will focus on the advocacy that is exercised in each of the countries. Angola benefits from this, because it is part of the Lobito Corridor, a grand strategy project, which also includes countries like DRC and Zambia,” he said.
The chairman considered the event important, stressing that it will allow lawyers in the region to present the work they have been doing, especially in the contractual aspect, since it is the lawyers who actually draw up the contracts.

Luís Paulo Monteiro assured that the Angolan Bar Association (OAA) is actively preparing for the event, and will have the institutional support of the Angolan Government.
