A note posted on the Government's Facebook says that the head of State went to the Miramar neighborhood to visit the former President: "On the morning of Friday, December 24, the President of the Republic João Lourenço, went to the Miramar neighborhood to a courtesy visit to former President José Eduardo dos Santos".
According to the statement, "the meeting was a gesture in the spirit of celebrating Christmas."
Remember that José Eduardo dos Santos returned to Angola on 14 September this year, after two years away. In April 2019, the former PR traveled to Barcelona (Spain) to undergo medical examinations and never returned to Angola.
About two days after landing in Luanda, João Lourenço and José Eduardo dos Santos spoke on the phone.
José Eduardo dos Santos became President in 1979, having led the country for 38 years.
