The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on behalf of the Belarusian people and personally, congratulated the President of Angola, João Lourenço, and the citizens of this country on the 50th anniversary of independence. This was reported by BELTA from the press service of the Belarusian leader.

"In this regard, I consider it necessary to activate bilateral contacts at all levels."
