Angola ready to strengthen ties with Zambia

Angola has re-affirmed its committment to boosting economic ties with Zambia and other countries in the SADC region.

Angolan Ambassador to Zambia Pedro De Morais Neto says regional integration is key to economic development.

He was speaking in an interview with ZNBC news in Lusaka ahead of his country's national day which falls on Tuesday.

The Angolan envoy said his country is ready to enhance economic cooperation with Zambia and the entire SADC grouping.

Ambassador Morais Neto also said Angola's economy has registered positive growth over the past few years following the end of the civil war.

Angola got its independence from Portugal in 1975.
