He expressed the British Government’s “great admiration” for President João Lourenço and his Executive for the efforts they have made to bring peace to the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
He said he had recently been to the DRC, and his colleagues were in Rwanda, which is why he came to Angola to tell the President of the Republic how “grateful they are” for his leadership and sense of State, while trying to bring together the conflicting parties to achieve of significant peace in that region.
The hearing also served to express the United Kingdom’s intention to work “very directly” with Angola on the “visionary project” of the Lobito Corridor.
