November 11th, 2021, marked the 46th anniversary of the proclamation of Angola's independence. President of the Republic of Angola João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço gave a speech on the importance of overcoming challenges to continue investing time, knowledge, and resources in changing the economic structure of Angola by diversifying its economy. President Lourenço also stressed:
To overcome today's challenges, we must continue to invest in the moralization of society and in building a nation whose foundational pillars are moral values. We need to continue to mobilize every Angolan so that we take part in the fight to prevent and combat corruption.
United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken shared this message on Angola's Independence Day:
On behalf of the American people and the Government of the United States, I offer congratulations to all Angolans as you celebrate your independence.
The United States appreciates the strong bilateral relationship between our two countries, and we look forward to continued strategic dialogue and cooperation. I commend Angola on its continued economic reforms and diversification efforts, and we applaud your commitment to combatting corruption and holding accountable those who have profited at the expense of the Angolan people.
Also, as we continue to respond to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, I affirm our shared commitment to health security and regional stability.
Best wishes as you commemorate this important day.
November 11th is also Veterans Day in the U.S., a day of remembrance of all U.S. military veterans - past and present. The date recognizes the formal agreement between allied forces and Germany to mark the official end of World War I, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. The date was formally known as Armistice Day until renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor Veterans of all U.S. wars.
November 11th is a holiday both in Angola and in the U.S.
Happy Independence Day, Angola! Happy Veterans Day, U.S.!
