Addressing a mass rally in Bié, the MPLA President highlighted, among other aspects, the degree of social and economic development of the province and other regions of the country.
João Lourenço told MPLA militants, sympathizers and friends that the peace and national reconciliation have allowed Angola's economic and social development.
