Luanda - The Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, on Friday congratulated his Swiss counterpart, Ignazio Cassis, for the election as president of that European country.
In the letter, to which ANGOP had access, João Lourenço expressed, on behalf of the Angolan Government and himself, wishes of success to the Swiss President in his duties as of January 2022.
