Angolan head of State João Lourenço arrived Thursday afternoon in Gaborone, Botswana, for a two-day state visit aimed to revive bilateral cooperation relations.
João Lourenço was welcomed at Gaborone International Airport by his counterpart Mokqweetsi Eric Masisi, with whom he will hold a meeting to establish the best ways to revive bilateral cooperation in various areas.
The two member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) are determined to re-launch the bilateral relations that date back to the beginning of Angola’s independence in 1975.
After the establishment of their diplomatic relations, Angola and Botswana signed, in February 2006, a general cooperation agreement that will now be updated during official talks between the two countries, before signing new legal instruments.
