The main events of the 10th summit of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States ended on Friday, instead of Saturday as planned. With the departure of the Angolan president to another US-Africa summit in Washington.
The Deputy Prime Minister of the Slovenian Government was present at the event in Luanda. During Tanja Fajon’s first visit to Angola, the Slovenian head of diplomacy also spoke about cooperation with Africa.
“Slovenia is really increasing development aid to many countries in Africa, humanitarian aid. We work a lot in the field of protecting the rights of women and children (…)”. Deputy Prime Minister of Slovenia Tanja Fajon told euronews.
But the visit also served to build bridges and alliances to get the country a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
“In the event of a war on the European continent and many challenges, such as climate change, energy or security risks, we will definitely know and want to listen to everyone and bring our positions as close as possible.” said Fajonova.
It remains to be seen whether the country will get the support of the member states of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States. An organization chaired by Luanda for the next three years.
