50th anniversary of its National Independence.
On this date of
profound historical significance, we pay tribute to the
Angolan men and women who, with unwavering courage, fought for their emancipation in the face of Portuguese
colonialism, from heroic February 4, 1961 to the definitive victory of November 11, 1975.
Angola stands today as a beacon of
dignity and determination for the peoples of the Global South, and Venezuela honors the imperishable
legacy of Dr. Agostinho Neto, who with love and
patriotic commitment guided the construction of a sovereign and thriving nation.
The President of
the Republic, Nicolás Maduro Moros, extends a fraternal and warm greeting to
His Excellency President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, confirming his
willingness to continue strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation that unite
both countries, based on shared ideals of sovereignty, social justice and self-determination.
In reiterating its
sincerest wishes for peace, stability and development of the brotherly Angolan
people, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reaffirms its commitment to continue moving forward together for the prosperity
of our nations and for the
construction of a multicentric, multipolar and just world.
