I think the crisis that the oil sector faced with the reduction of its prices in the international arena, and the global economic crisis, in a way helped the Angolan government in terms of thinking to engage in the diversification of its economy as well as recovery modernization of infrastructure,

The previous government was quite heavy in that sense, but that is one of the bills that the country had to pay to achieve peace and reconciliation.

We are very pleased because Angola used to rely on external support for food but we are no longer receiving food from abroad. We are still working with international institutions to help us improve the quality of our agricultural services and programs,
