Angola’s new president snubs Portugal in inaugural speech

The new President of Angola, João Lourenço, did not mention Portugal in his inaugural speech in which he noted the country’s “principal partners” and welcomed others who “respected Angola’s national sovereignty.”

The new head of state is well aware that Portugal is the main market for Angolan imports and has set out to increase the tension between the two governments by ignoring Portugal’s commercial importance.
