The relations of cooperation between Angola and China in the sector of agriculture, particularly in rice production, were analysed Wednesday in Luanda, during a meeting between the local prime minister, Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos, and the Asian nation's ambassador, Zhang Bolun.
According to Zhang Bolun, at the end of the audience with the Angolan Premier, the meeting served to inform that China is studying the best ways to carry out rice plantation and guarantee self-sufficiency of food in the Southern African country.
The Chinese diplomat stressed the "good" level of cooperation between the two countries, emphasizing the need of Chinese support to help the Angolans in food self-sufficiency.
In colonial era, Angola was a bigger rice producer, but it abandoned this activity due to war that ravaged the country.
