The Chinese government will continue to support Angola as the African nation attempts to diversify its economy as part of existing strategic partnership between the two countries.
The announcement was made by visiting Chinese Foreign Affairs minister Wang Yi, who met with Angola’s President João Lourenço in Luanda.
