Luanda – A message from the Angolan President, João Lourenço, was delivered to his Côte d’Ivoire counterpart, Alessane Ouatara.
The message was delivered by the Minister of Finance, Vera Daves, who was received Thursday in Abidjan by President Ouatara on the sidelines of the Summit of African Heads of State on the new round of replenishment of resources for the International Development Association (IDA-20).
During the audience, Vera Daves conveyed to the Ivorian statesman the “strong” desire of Angola to strengthen cooperation and friendship ties between both African countries.
For the Angolan government official, both countries should take greater advantage of the potential they have in several areas, specifically agriculture, on the Ivorian side, and the exploitation of mineral resources, among others, on the Angolan side.
During her stay in Abidjan, Vera Daves also met with the Minister of Mines, Oil and Energy of Côte d’Ivoire, with whom she discussed Angola’s shareholder position in Ivorian refinery company.
