In this new cycle of cooperation, Angola and Oman intend to expand existing partnerships, exploring new areas such as infrastructure, tourism, health, education, and techs, while also promoting the involvement of the private sector as an engine of economic growth.
The strengthening of bilateral cooperation reflects the shared desire to elevate relations to a more comprehensive and dynamic level, based on mutual benefits and the promotion of regional and international peace, stability, and prosperity.
The relations between Angola and Oman are based on building a solid and multifaceted partnership, with a strong emphasis on the economic and investment dimension, benefiting from their complementarities and development ambitions.
The visit of the Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, to the Sultanate of Oman in Dec 2024, marked the confidence in a relationship that, even in its genesis, created “solid legs” to move forward.
President João Lourenço accepted an invitation from Haitian Sultan Bim Tarik Al Said, which resulted in the signing of four agreements, joining the three signed in Luanda in May 2024, when the partnership was established.
