The Dinner-Debate to mark the 50th anniversary of Angola’s independence, organized jointly by ACNAE and CEDESA, took place on 21 November at the Pestana Palace in Lisbon.

It was attended by academics, journalists and businesspeople with links to Angola, a diverse group of personalities who debated the issue in a lively and free way, without factionalism and in a constructive manner.

We had the CEO of Portugal’s largest chemical company moderating the debate, several former MPs, journalists from LUSA, DN, Jornal de Negócios and TPA, professors from Portuguese and foreign universities.

The Book o Livro de Actas do III Congresso de Angolanística (June 2024) was distributed.

There was a strong interest in Angola.

Attendance was richer and more timely.
