President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to embark on a working visit today to the Republic of Angola to meet with that country’s President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço.
The President will be accompanied on his trip by Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola and Defence Minister Angie Motshekga.
“The two Heads of State will use the occasion of the working visit to reflect on the bilateral relationship between the two countries, who share very deep historical ties that are rooted in the liberation struggle against colonialism and apartheid,” the Presidency said in a statement on Wednesday.
Furthermore, the two African leaders are expected to discuss areas of mutual interest for both countries.
“President Ramaphosa and President Lourenço will also share perspectives on issues of regional mutual interest, including the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and on regional and continental efforts aimed at resolving the conflicts that are plaguing the continent,” the statement read. – SAnews.gov.za
