“These 23 years do not only represent the time that has passed, but also symbolise a living testimony of freedom, harmony, unity and fraternity among Angolans from Cabinda to Cunene and from the Sea to the East, after long and painful decades of armed conflict”, he said.
Cultural moments such as dance, music, poetry and the parade of traditional Angolan costumes also marked the event, which was attended by around hundreds of guests.
