According to the Brazilian presidency, João Lourenço and his wife, Ana Dias Lourenço, are expected to arrive at the Planalto Palace, in Brasília, at 10 am (2 pm in Luanda), where they will be received by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and his wife, Janja.
At the Planalto Palace, the two leaders will have a bilateral meeting, which will be preceded by a memorandum signing ceremony and a joint statement to the press.
A source from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Lusa that the agreements will focus on energy, through commitments between state oil companies Petrobras and Sonangol, but also on strengthening agriculture, following a mission by the Brazilian agribusiness sector to Angola, held at the beginning of the month, with the participation of around 30 Brazilian businesspeople and the Brazilian minister in charge, Carlos Fávaro.
This will be followed by lunch at the Itamaraty Palace, the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a meeting with representatives of rural producers.
Brazil was the first country to recognize Angola after the country's independence on November 11, 1975, and the two countries have maintained a close bilateral relationship, with cooperation agreements in several areas.
João Lourenço had previously been in Brazil to participate in the inauguration ceremony of Lula da Silva, who took office for a third term in January 2023.
The Brazilian president visited Angola in August 2023, his first visit to an African country in his new term, and his third official trip to Angola, after trips made in 2003 and 2007.
On Saturday, the last day of the visit, João Lourenço will meet with African ambassadors on a mission in Brazil and members of the Caribbean Community (Caricom).
João Lourenço arrived in Brazil on Thursday for a three-day state visit, at the invitation of the Brazilian head of state, having already held meetings with Davi Alcolumbre, president of the Federal Senate, the upper house of the Brazilian parliament, with Hugo Motta, president of the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house, and, lastly, with the president of the Supreme Federal Court, Luís Roberto Barroso.
