Luanda - The Angolan ambassador to Ethiopia and Permanent Representative to the African Union (AU) and at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Miguel Bembe, on Tuesday in the province of Luanda highlighted that education is a key area in the actions of the Angolan Executive.
The diplomat made this statement during a meeting with the heads of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gary G. Oba and Debora Oba.
At the time, the diplomat stressed that the achievement of the mentioned policy is in line with the recommendations of the continental organisation's Agenda 2063, entitled "The Africa we want".
Miguel Bembe emphasized that the 3rd edition of the Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace in Africa named "Biennial of Luanda," scheduled to be hosted in Angola in November 22 to 24 of the current year, will focus on “education, culture of peace and African citizenship as tools for the sustainable development of the continent".
The Oba couple said the Church they lead was founded in 1830 in Salt Lake City in the United States of America (USA), has 17 million members and provides humanitarian aid in 185 countries.
According to the US religious leaders, in September 2022 the Church carried out charitable activities worth 32 million dollars in nine countries, highlighting Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
They reported that in Angola the congregation was legally recognised in 1993 and it is represented by about 5,000 believers. FMA/SC/MRA/jmc
