The Republic of Angola is the fourth leg of Wen's seven-nation African
trip that will also take him to South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda.
Wen is the first Chinese premier who paid an official visit to Angola
since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was greeted with
a welcoming ceremony held by Prime Minister Fernando da Piedade Dias dos
Santos at the airport.
Upon arrival at the airport in Luanda, Wen released a written speech,
saying that his visit is aimed to enhance friendship and push forward
cooperation between China and Angola in all fields.
During his visit, Wen will meet with President Jose Eduardo dos Santos
and Prime Minister Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos. They will
exchange views on bilateral relations and on issues of common interest.
Noting that China and Angola share traditional friendship and mutual
trust, Wen said bilateral relations have made steady progress since the
two countries established diplomatic links 23 years ago.
The two countries have supported each other on international affairs and
achieved rich results in cooperation in all fields, Wen said.
Wen said Angola is a country of important influence in Africa and a
country of great potential. The development of China-Angola relations is
in the basic interests of the people of both countries, he added.
He expressed the wish that Angola will continue to make new achievements
in the process of national reconstruction and development. He also
expressed the confidence that China-Angola relations will have an even
brighter future.
Wen concluded an official visit to the Republic of the Congo Tuesday
morning and left Brazzaville for Luanda.
