Lubango - Israel's ambassador to Angola, Shimon Solomon, said today, Wednesday, in Lubango, that his country counts on Angola, as a “partner”, to fight against terrorism, as it appears to be a danger to the world.
The diplomat, who was speaking as part of a two-day visit to Huíla, after a meeting with vice-governor Maria João Chipalavela, declared that his country is experiencing “very tight” security, which is why he is looking for partners from countries that seek peace.
Shimon Solomon pointed out that this is why they mobilize new partners, of which Angola is a part, to show that they are against terrorism.
He said that terrorism is not good, as is the case in Democratic Congo, Mozambique, or Sudan, where recently more than 800 Christians were killed and no one spoke about the subject, considering that terrorist organizations that are “invading” the world more and more.
“For this reason, we are seeking help and support from all our partners, so that we can let the world know that terrorism helps no one. We respect the Palestinian people, but Hamas does not represent the Palestinian population, we also want Palestine to have its rights, but Hamas is hindering this process,” he continued.
He said that the relationship between Angola and Israel is not new, it began before the latter's independence, so his country values this cooperation and as proof he pointed out the fact that Israel has only 12 embassies in Africa, one of them in Angola, in a universe of 54 countries.
Within the framework of bilateral relations between Angola and Israel, they already cooperate in the areas of humanitarianism, agriculture, health, education, aviation, construction, fisheries, diamonds, security and telecommunications. MS/MS/DOJ
