The program will be presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Téte António, coordinator of the working group created by the President, João Lourenço, for the preparation, coordination and organization of tasks related to Angola's responsibilities in the event.

The meeting includes exhibitions, forums and pre-summit events that precede the summit itself, which starts on Friday and ends on Saturday.

"Three Continents, Three Oceans, a Common Destiny: Building a Resilient and Sustainable Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States" is the motto of this meeting, in which Angola will assume the presidency of the organization for a period of three years.

At least 79 Member States from the three continents are expected to participate in this summit, which will be the first to take place after the transformation of the ACP Group into an international organization.

Angolan ambassador Georges Rebelo Chikoti is the current secretary general of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States.

João Lourenço, in his speech on the State of the Nation, on 15 October, highlighted the importance of the country hosting the 10th OEACP Summit, considering the event of "high importance" as Angola assumes the rotating presidency of the organization.

This presidency will place the country "before the international spotlight", considered the President, calling for "a collective commitment" and the "collaboration of the most varied strata of society" so that this international event is "a celebration for all".
