The agenda of the visit, which will last until Saturday, includes a "private" meeting with the head of state of the Republic of Guinea Conakry, Alpha Condé, as well as meetings at ministerial level, according to the same source.
The press services of the Angolan presidency specified that João Lourenço will be accompanied on this trip by the ministers of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas and Defense and Homeland Veterans, representatives who will work "with a Guinean ministerial delegation to strengthen bilateral cooperation" in these areas.
The same source said that "one of the highlights of the presence" of João Lourenço in Guinea-Conakry will be a ceremony, to be held on Friday afternoon, during which the Angolan leader will be decorated with the Grand National Order of the Republic of Guinea.
The press service recalled that this distinction was awarded in 1973, "in the middle of the liberation struggle against Portuguese colonialism," to António Agostinho Neto (the first Angolan president, 1975/1979).
In 1973, the independence leader Ahmed Sékou Touré was ruling Guinea.
João Lourenço this Wednesday ended a state visit to Turkey, made to boost the economic relations of the two countries, and met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
