João Lourenço also reiterated his desire to fully explore the possibilities offered by the economies of both countries with the aim of strengthening bilateral cooperation and transforming it into a decisive factor for the development of Angola and Brazil.
Angola-Brazil Cooperation
Diplomatic relations between Angola and Brazil were officially established on November 11, 1975, the day of the proclamation of national independence.
It should be noted that Brazil, considered the largest country in South America, became the first to recognize Angola’s sovereignty. Since then, the two countries have developed a diverse cooperation, supported by historical, cultural, and linguistic ties.
In recent decades, it has been a leading partner in areas such as education and personnel training, health, agriculture, transportation, defence, energy and culture.
Angolan students have received training at Brazilian universities through scholarship programs and academic exchange agreements.
In the economic sector, Brazilian companies participate in structural projects in Angola, particularly in civil construction, engineering, energy, and oil and gas, contributing to technology transfer and the diversification of the national economy.
Technical-military cooperation is also a central focus of the partnership, with exchanges and staff training in the areas of defence and security.
However, at the politico-diplomatic level, the two countries maintain regular consultations in multilateral forums, such as the United Nations (UN), the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP), with the aim of strengthening cooperation, increasing reciprocal investment and boosting new strategic sectors, consolidating friendship and solidarity between the two peoples.
