The Minister of State and Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic, Adão de Almeida, advocated this Sunday in Amboim (Cuanza Sul), the need for Angolans to preserve peace, national unity, as well as moral values and civic interests, in favor of the well-being of the populations.

“This camp is an example of national unity. Young people from all over the country are here, sharing the ideals of Scouting. Stability constitutes an important challenge for our present, as the past has taught us the value of peace in the worst way, so we all have an obligation to preserve it”, he stressed.
On the occasion, the official highlighted the importance of the scout movement in building a more cohesive society.
“I identify with the values of the scout movement. Loving the country is the first duty of a citizen. Love Angola and do everything in your power for her, always alert to serve”, he stressed.

The provincial governor of Cuanza Sul, Job Capapinha, the Secretary of State for Youth, Francisco Boaventura Chitapa, religious entities, traditional authorities, among other guests, participated in the act.
