Angola and Argentina are members of the Group of 77 and the United Nations.

History[]

During the Atlantic slave trade, Portugal and Spain transported many African slaves from Angola to Brazil, and from there were transported to Argentina.[1] In November 1975, Angola gained its independence from Portugal. In September 1977, Argentina recognized the independence and established diplomatic relations with Angola.[2]

Soon after gaining independence, Angola entered into a civil war which lasted until 2002. In 1985, Argentine Foreign Minister, Dante Caputo, paid a visit to Angola.[3] In May 2005, Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos, paid an official visit to Argentina.[4] In May 2012, Argentine President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, paid an official visit to Angola.[5]

In 2013, Angolan Foreign Minister, Georges Rebelo Chikoti, paid a visit to Argentina and met his counterpart, Héctor Timerman.[citation needed] During the visit, both Foreign Ministers held a meeting within the framework of the political consultation mechanisms and discussed current bilateral relations between both nations.
