Africa-Press – Angola. The ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Duong Chinh Chuc, today considered Malanje as an ideal region to establish cooperation and exchange relationships with the provinces of his country, given its important role in food security and socio-economic development of Angola.
Without advancing the number of provinces that intend to propose relations with Malanje, the diplomat, who was speaking at the end of a meeting with the deputy governor for the Political, Economic and Social Sector, Franco Mufinda, said he hopes that local authorities will express interest and create opportunities for mutual development.
He pointed out that Vietnam has several advantages that can be combined with Angola in general and Malanje in particular for the development of both peoples, taking into account their experiences and capabilities in various areas, including agriculture, industry and mineral exploration.
He understands that Malanje, as a region with countless mineral resources and considered an important agricultural and animal production center in the country, should deserve more investment for its progression.
On the occasion, vice-governor Franco Mufinda said that after the proclamation of National Independence, Vietnam has always been at Angola’s side, acting in the areas of health, civil construction, industry and agriculture.
The ambassador’s visit aims to strengthen relations and expand cooperation protocols, which is why during the meeting the local government presented the province’s potential, highlighting areas for future investment, such as livestock, fishing, tourism and rice production.
The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam began a two-day visit to Malanje, as part of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which will be celebrated in 2025.
During his stay in the region, he will meet with the Vietnamese community living in the province, as well as visit the Calandula Falls.
In office since 2023, Duong Chinh Chuc is also non-resident ambassador to DRC, Zambia, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, São Tomé and Príncipe and Cape Verde.
