Today, November 11 is the National Day of the African nation Angola.
The National Day which is also known as Independence Day is celebrated annually commemorating the proclamation of national independence, on 11 November 1975 from Portuguese colonial following 14 years of armed struggle that began on February 4, 1961.
After Brazil, Angola is the second-largest Portuguese-speaking (Lusophone) country and is the seventh-largest country in Africa.
Republic of Angola, is a country on the western coast of Southern Africa with a population of over 38 million people and is bordered by Namibia, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo and the Atlantic Ocean.
Nepal and Angola established formal diplomatic relations on December 9, 2017. Yet today, both the nations do not have a residential embassy in each country.
But instead, the Embassy of Nepal in Pretoria, South Africa handles all the diplomatic and consular matters for Angola. Likewise, as there is no embassy or consulate of Angola in Nepal, Angola handles its diplomatic and consular affairs for Nepal through its embassy in India.
Let’s hope the two countries’ relationships will be strengthened in the days ahead.
On this 51 years of Auspicious Independence Day, we the Foreign Affairs News family would like to extend our CONGRATULATIONS to the Republic of Angola.
Long Live Angola-Nepal Relationship.
