According to the ambassador, the Angolan parliamentarians and government officials, during the opening ceremony of the new legislative year of the National Assembly, gave reconciling and democratic speeches, despite the ideological differences of their respective parties.
 
“Angolan is giving a lesson of democracy, after holding fair and free elections, with an exemplary parliament, mainly after the bad examples of democracy seen in Zimbabwe and  Kenya” he stressed.

Torquato Cardilli reminded that Italy was the first European country to recognise the independence of Angola, proclaimed on 11 November 1975, since then the political co-operation between both states has always been diversified and advantageous.
 
“Our political relationship with Angola is old and very profitable for the two countries, dating back from the times of the civil war, and currently we have been strengthening this co-operation” the diplomat explained. Source: ANGOP
