Quoted by Jornal de Angola, Kahina Ferreira indicated that during the last three months, December 2nd – on which the United Emirates National Day was celebrated and on which entries were free – was the one that generated the most movement for the national pavilion: the space received around 30,000 people.

The 22nd of December, which marked Angola's National Day at the event, was the day on which the number of visits was lowest. The director of the space indicated that on that day, due to the ceremony presided over by the President, João Lourenço, the pavilion received a total of 2000 visitors.

Kahina Ferreira also made it known that Thursday is the day of the week that the space receives the most visitors: "The day of the week that the Angola pavilion receives the most visitors is Thursday, with a 'record' of 6000 visitors of various nationalities".

The official explained that the national pavilion focuses "on the Angolan Lunda (cokwe) people and their relationship with modernity, using symbols such as a large parrot called Toje, which symbolizes freedom of thought." "This is one of the symbols that the pavilion uses to reintroduce the art of storytelling," he said.
