Angola marked its 50th year of independence with significant global participation, including the historic first visit by an Indian President, Droupadi Murmu. The occasion also highlighted four decades of diplomatic ties between India and Angola, underscoring a growing partnership. During the visit, key areas such as governance, infrastructure development, defence cooperation, and the energy sector were appreciated and discussed. India further strengthened bilateral engagement by proposing a USD 200 million Line of Credit aimed at supporting joint defence and energy initiatives. This milestone celebration not only commemorated Angola’s independence but also reinforced a deepening India–Angola relationship.
