According to a note made available on Facebook by the Press Center of the Presidency of the Republic of Angola (CIPRA), at the end of the meeting, Ahemed Kattan made it known that he discussed with João Lourenço "issues related to the strengthening of bilateral relations in the most varied domains".
Among the issues addressed is the opening of a Saudi Arabian embassy in Angola.
"In particular, Ahmed Kattan announced the opening of a Saudi Arabian embassy in Angola", the CIPRA note reads.
Téte António, Minister of Foreign Affairs - who was also present at the meeting - said that Angola applauded Saudi Arabia's decision to open an embassy in Angola, showing reciprocity, since in 2021 Angola opened its embassy in Saudi Arabia, writes Angop.
