Africa-Press – Angola. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Téte António, asked ambassadors this Thursday, in Luanda, to continue working on identifying partners interested in investing in the country, with a view to contributing to the diversification of the economy.
The head of Angolan diplomacy, who was speaking at the New Year greeting ceremony for sector employees, defended the need to work with African countries in consolidating the Continental Free Trade Area.
“For this year, without neglecting the bilateral agenda, we must continue to maximize our action in favor of the presidencies we hold in SADC, the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States, ensure the Presidency of the Republic in the African Union, as well as the seat on its Peace and Security Council”, he emphasized.
Likewise, he said, Angola will continue with the same spirit of selflessness in its responsibilities in the CIRGL and CEEAC, as well as ensuring the expansion of its position in Asia, with the opening of new diplomatic missions in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Timor-Leste.
On the occasion, the government official highlighted that he will continue to improve work with the diaspora, providing consulates with technical resources suited to the demands of the activity they carry out.
He added that the sector he heads is making efforts, in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, to extend the process of issuing Identity Cards to more countries, with a view to strengthening the action of the associative movement within the community and improve access for citizens abroad to national identification documents.
