The Secretary of State took note of the community’s numerous concerns and expectations, among which the relative slowness in issuing passports and other personal documents stands out.
One of the main concerns of Angolan communities in Germany is access to consular services, for which they have to travel long distances, at high costs, following the closure of the Angolan Consulate General in Frankfurt. Around 80 percent of the Angolan community lives in this area in southern Germany, a situation for which the Angolan Government is finding the best ways to resolve, according to the Secretary of State for Communities.
The initiative, which pleased the community, took place as part of the tour that the government official is undertaking through some European capitals, to deal with issues relating to international cooperation and Angolan communities abroad.
