Angola, Nicaragua seek new era in bilateral cooperation

Luanda – Angola and Nicaragua agreed Friday in Managua to continue consultations at all levels for the establishment of a true bilateral cooperation in several areas.

The intention was expressed during a meeting between Angola’s non-resident ambassador to the Central American country, Maria Cândida Pereira Teixeira, and Nicaragua’s Foreign Minister, Denis Colindres.

The two interlocutors reviewed a set of relevant issues in bilateral plans and the global situation, and both concluded that there is evidence of the emergence of a new world order based on dialogue, mutual trust and strengthening of universal human values.

The parties spoke of the need to open embassies in both countries and the creation of a joint bilateral commission to identify areas of cooperation, both public and private, thus allowing for the exchange of businesspeople from both countries to strengthen relations between the South and South.

The Angolan diplomat who lives in Havana, Cuba, took advantage of the meeting to inform the Nicaraguan diplomatic chief of the holding, in 2022, in Luanda, of the 10th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OEACP).

Cândida Teixeira gave, equally, detailed information on the electoral process in course in the country and invited the Nicaraguan society to join in the celebrations of the 100 years of the founder of the Angolan nation, Antonio Agostinho Neto.

Nicaragua, a Central American country located between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, is experiencing great growth in the tourism sector, and is currently the country’s second most successful industry.

It is dominated by agricultural production and its territory is covered half by forest and extensive deposits of gold, silver, salt and copper.

The country produces coffee, cotton and bananas, as well as sugarcane, corn, fruit, rice, cassava, sorghum and beans. It is also one of the main cattle breeders in Central America.
