On Saturday, Angola's President Joao Manuel Gonсalves Lourenсo concluded his visit to Botswana, considered "historic" by the country's leader Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi.Botswana's president made his statement during the press conference that marked the end of the official talks between the delegations of the two countries, as part of Lourenсo's trip.Masisi underlined the fact that Lourenco's state visit came at a time when Angola is preparing to host the next ordinary Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) summit and assume the presidency of this regional organization based in the Tswanese capital, Gaborone.For this reason, he wished early congratulations to Joao Lourenсo, and promised to personally travel to Angola's capital Luanda to participate in the work of the SADC summit.In addition, Masisi revealed that the visit coincided with the celebration of his birthday on which he turned 61 years old; Joao Lourenсo was thus the first head of state he received, as a "gift".He said he had agreed with his Angolan counterpart on the need to implement a vast program of bilateral collaboration, covering a large number of spheres, such as energy, transportation, health, animal breeding and mining.The two SADC member countries are determined to revive bilateral relations that date back to the early days of Angola's Independence achieved in 1975.Following the establishment of their diplomatic relations, Angola and Botswana signed a general cooperation agreement in February 2006, which is in the process of being updated ahead of the signing of new legal instruments.
