"The Angola Oil & Gas (AOG) Conference & Exhibition 2020 will be held on 14 and 15 October this year in Luanda for the second year, as a focal point for international investment," reads a statement from the African Energy Chamber, which confirms October as the month of the exhibition, as the CEA representative in Luanda, Sergio Pugliese had already revealed in an interview with Lusa at the end of last month.
"The Angolan government reiterated its confidence in the country's energy sector, despite the covid-19 pandemic, and AOG will be a focal point for international investment that should bring new business to the negotiating table and the signing of new players in the country's oil and gas industry," the statement sent to Lusa added.
The theme of this year's edition, "A New Era of Growth and Prosperity in Angola," aims to show the country as a desirable destination for foreign investment and will include representatives of the major oil companies operating in the country, conclude the organizers.
The CEA organized last year the first AOG conference aimed at attracting foreign investment to the country, with the second edition planned for June, but had to postpone the meeting to October due to current conditions.
"We received a positive reaction from the government when we asked to postpone it until October, and the main objective is to attract investment, we want to help the government reopen Angola as an investment location and that is why we bring investors to the country, to talk to the authorities", explained Sérgio Pugliese in an interview with Lusa at the end of April.
