Rome:President João Lourenço met with a representative of the Fincantieri business group to discuss industrial partnership and investment opportunities in Angola. The meeting was held on the sidelines of the World Food Forum (WFF), where the Angolan Head of State is participating. The WFF is hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and focuses on food security and the transformation of agrifood systems.
According to Angola Press News Agency, the discussions aim to strengthen economic relations between Angola and Italy, emphasizing industrial cooperation and attracting investment.

The potential cooperation between Angola and Fincantieri may include shipbuilding and repair, maintenance of offshore support vessels for the oil industry, technical staff training, and technology transfer. These initiatives could be realized through future projects and agreements between the two parties. President Lourenço has been in Rome since Sunday to attend the World Food Forum.
