22 July 2011

Luanda — The political situation and the promotion of a peaceful solution to the crisis in Guinea-Bissau topped the first years of Angola’s presidency of the Community of Portuguese-speaking Community (CPLP), Angop learned Friday in Luanda.

This was said by Angolan Foreign minister, Georges Chikoti, while presenting the report of the CPLP Presidency of the Council of Ministers taking place in a Luanda hotel.

Angola at bilateral level and acting on behalf of the CPLP is implementing the plan to support the reform in Guinea-Bissau’s defence and security sectors, with the deployment of the military technical support mission (MISANG) in that Portuguese-speaking west African country, he said.

The diplomat said as well that at diplomatic level Angola has tried to develop initiatives on behalf of the CPLP and partnership with the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) to resolve the political crisis in that member country.
