Luanda, ANGOLA, April 26 - The Angolan head of State, João Lourenço, Saturday addressed a message of congratulations to his Portuguese counterpart, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, on the 46th anniversary of April 25th, Carnation Revolution Day. ,

The 25th of April Revolution, also known as the Carnation Revolution, took place in Portugal in 1974, and resulted from the political and social movement that overthrew the dictatorial regime of the Estado Novo (New State), in force since 1933.

President João Lourenço once again highlighted the relations of friendship, cooperation and solidarity between Angola and Portugal, having considered them "intense in the last four decades".

I believe, says João Lourenço, that the high level of mutual understanding of each country's reality will contribute to continue to carry oud initiatives that will lead to the continuous strengthening of bilateral relations.
