The State Minister for Social Affairs, Carolina Cerqueira, Wednesday assessed with the International Coordinator of Luanda Biennale, Enzo Fazzino, issues related to the 2nd edition of Luanda Biennale - Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace.
During the audience, which was also attended by Ambassador Sita José and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Vieira Lopes, the State minister stressed the need to count on the active participation of African countries, taking into account the purposes of the event, which will take place in October this year.
"Since the African Union has assumed the importance of the biennium as a matter of peace and security at the continent level, the event should be placed as a priority on the African agenda," said Carolina Cerqueira.
The government official stressed that this is an opportunity for Angola, once again, to reaffirm its example and leadership in terms of safeguarding and educating for peace in Africa, in particular, and in the world in general.
According to the minister, the good results of the first edition held in 2019, led UNESCO to once again support Angola in holding the second edition.
Carolina Cerqueira also stressed the importance of involving youth, academics, businessmen, religious leaders and women because, in her view, they have a fundamental role in the progress of the African continent, in a climate of sustainable and permanent peace.
