Having already visited the Czech Republic and Germany in recent days, the Minister of Economy and Planning chaired the "Why Angola? 2023" colloquium in Paris, which brought together French and Angolan businessmen, and where the minister says he wants to promote the non-oil sector.

"France could not be left out of this tour because of the excellent diplomatic relations and, from an economic point of view, we are going after it, trying to diversify this economic relationship that has a very strong penchant for the oil sector, but we want to give more strength to the non-oil sector. Without, however, failing to accelerate the oil sector", explained Mário Caetano João, in statements to Lusa.

According to the minister, Emmanuel Macron's visit to Luanda at the beginning of March solidified the will to further deepen the economic relationship between the two countries, now focusing on agribusiness.

"We have a very important import of agri-food products from France, but France is increasingly believing in our market and is convinced that the next frontier is agribusiness. This is something that President Emmanuel Macron demonstrated during his visit Angola. This makes us believe that France has a serious intention", he declared.

Among the priorities of the Angolan government in France is "a greater proximity to the Angolan diaspora", a "closer" relationship with the French authorities and economic operators in Wales.

Mário Caetano João will meet this Tuesday afternoon with the French Minister of Foreign Trade, Olivier Becht, having already held several high-level meetings with different French authorities in the economic sector.

On Wednesday, the minister and his delegation will travel to Porto, where they will organize a "Why Angola? 2023" meeting with Portuguese authorities and businessmen.
