Luanda, ANGOLA, January 19 - The Angolan President, João Lourenço, last riday in Luanda appealed for the support of the Diplomatic Corps accredited in this country to help his government promote the image of this African state.,

Speaking at the New Year greetings ceremony with the Diplomatic Corps, João Lourenço stressed that the fight against corruption and the process of improving the credibility of the state will continue to be a priority, that is why he was appealing to the foreign diplomats and international organisations to help Angola divulge its new image of becoming more open and receptive to private investment of various types.          

 

He went on to say that last year his government carried out an active diplomatic exercise, with a strong leaning to economic diplomacy, which enabled the attraction of various investments and an exponential increase of interest for the Angolan market by new foreign investors.

 

This great diplomatic exercise, underscored the Head of State, was only possible thanks to the joint work done by the Angolan authorities, the diplomatic missions, international organisations and other foreign institutions based in Angola.

 

He expressed his gratitude for the work being done by those foreign players and reaffirmed that he is still counting on their collaboration for the continuation of the dynamics his government has been setting in motion.

 

“Today it is a general conviction that impunity relating to practices that harm public assets has its days numbered, and this has been contributing to the change of Angolan image, both at internal and international levels”, said the Angolan Head of State.

 

He then reminded that one clear demonstration of the trust coming from international institutions is the recent agreement signed between the Republic of Angola and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
