Angola–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Angola and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. During the Cold War both countries actively participated in the work of the Non-Aligned Movement. Yugoslavia officially recognized the independence of Angola just one day after it was declared in 1975.[1] The formal diplomatic relations were established that same year.[2]
At the time of the Portuguese Colonial War Yugoslavia provided military and other forms of aid to MPLA and other liberation movements.[3] Yugoslav support to decolonization movements in Africa affected Yugoslav relations with superpowers but was also motivated by its rivalry with Cuba over the leadership in the Non-aligned movement.[3] In 1976 President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito explicitly endorsed Cuban intervention in Angola despite the opposition from the United States.[4] President of Angola Agostinho Neto visited Yugoslavia on three occasion in 1968, 1971 1973 and 1977 while Prime Minister of Angola Lopo do Nascimento visited Yugoslavia in 1976.[5]
