The welcome message will be given by the president of the National Assembly (AN), Carolina Cerqueira, after playing, sequentially, the anthems of the two countries.

Angola and Cuba maintain cooperative relations in various areas such as security, education, health, transport, public works, construction, oil, sports, culture, tourism and agriculture.
The two States established diplomatic relations on November 15, 1975, four days after Angola’s independence and, a year later, signed the General Cooperation Agreement.
This legal instrument would later lead to the establishment of a Bilateral Commission between Angola and Cuba.
Due to the political circumstances at the time, the General Cooperation Agreement continued to privilege actions of technical-military assistance, until 1991, a year before the implementation of multipartyism in Angola.
