The Serbian diplomat said that cooperation between Anghola and Serbia is well developed, in various areas, such as industry, commerce, agriculture, defense and education.

“We have a good number of students in Serbia in various faculties, such as Economics, Medicine, Law and others”, he emphasized.
He said that, in the field of culture, cooperation is good and, in 2023, an exhibition of Angolan visual artists was organized at the Africa Museum in Belgrade.
“We expressed our interest, to the Angolan Minister of Culture, in once again organizing Angola’s participation in the largest book fair in Europe, in Belgrade,” he said.
Angola and Serbia established political-diplomatic and technical-scientific and cultural cooperation relations on April 25, 1977.
Currently, these relations are cordial and have been consolidated with the signing of more than ten agreements and visits by several Angolan delegations to Belgrade, between 2020 and 2023.
The two countries updated the first legal instrument signed in 1977, called “General Agreement on Economic and Technical-Scientific Cooperation”, a base document for signing several sectoral legal instruments.
Serbia was one of the first countries in Europe and the third in the world to recognize Angola’s independence, in 1975, having, at the time, shared the spirit of the Non-Aligned Countries.
With a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimated at 164.8 billion dollars, Serbia is considered an emerging medium economy by the World Bank.
