Luanda: Angolan President Joo Louren§o on Wednesday had a phone conversation with Portuguese Prime Minister Lus Montenegro to discuss the cooperation between the two countries. This fact is expressed in a note from the President's Support Services released today.
According to Angola Press News Agency, cooperation relations between Angola and Portugal, formally established following Angola's independence on November 11, 1975, are grounded in a shared cultural, legal, and institutional framework, as well as specific technical expertise in areas fundamental to development. In 1978, the two countries signed the General Cooperation Agreement. Since then, bilateral relations have intensified, with numerous cooperation agreements signed across a wide range of sectors, including political-diplomatic, economic, and financial fields, alongside partnerships in energy, transport, and strategic projects such as the Lobito Corridor.
Institutional cooperation between the two states has evolved dynamically over the years, both in a bilateral context through Strategic Cooperation Programs (PEC) and in a multilateral one involving the European Union and other organizations.
