"The preparation for the prime minister's visit will be the highlight of this visit," said a diplomatic source contacted by Lusa.
The Portuguese Minister of State and Foreign Affairs has scheduled a visit to the Santa Ana cemetery for Saturday morning, where he will monitor the requalification works of the Portuguese military plots.
This Friday afternoon, Paulo Rangel will meet with the Portuguese community at the official residence of the Portuguese ambassador, Francisco Alegre Duarte.
The return to Lisbon is scheduled for early Saturday afternoon.
João Lourenço's invitation to Luís Montenegro for an official visit to Angola was made during the presence of the head of state in Portugal for the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April.
João Lourenço made the announcement in a statement to the press, at the end of the meeting with Luís Montenegro, at the Portuguese prime minister's official residence.
On the occasion, and referring to bilateral relations, João Lourenço considered that "they are at their best".
"Although we have an obligation to never feel satisfied. We have to be ambitious to the point of wanting more and more," he added.
For João Lourenço, "the strengthening of friendly relations between Angola and Portugal is an ambition that is reciprocal. It belongs to Angola but it also belongs to Portugal".
"Our relations are on the right track. The Government of the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, will continue what we have done so far and the ideal will be to reinforce it even more", he highlighted.
