relations between the two countries.

Under the Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology, the forum, has been designed as a bilateral platform for economic exchange between the two countries.

The participants, figures from the two countries politics and economics, will focus on energy and mining, infrastructures and funding and security against risks.

The first Germany/Angola forum took place last year in Frankfurt with the involvement of 200 participants.

The Frankfurt forum came in response to the visit paid to Angola in December 2007 by the Germany minister of Economy and Technology, Michael Glos.

The minister was then accompanied by two prominent members of the  Germany Parliament and 50 business people.

On the occasion, Michael Glos expressed his country’s wish to invest mainly in the areas of energy, public works, hotels and transports.

Angola is only second to South Africa in trade with Germany in Africa.
