Luanda – The Angolan capital (Luanda) will host an extraordinary summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) on Saturday, November 4.

The information was provided Tuesday by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Téte António, after an exceptional virtual meeting called by the Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, in his capacity as SADC Chairperson.

According to Tête António, the main objective of the remote meeting between the SADC leaders was to analyse the situation in the DRC, with an emphasis on the December 2024 elections.

The resolutions of the quadripartite summit in Luanda in June 2023, which decided, among other things, on the meeting of the region's Chiefs of Staff, the deployment of forces in the east of the DRC (SAMIR-RDC) and its budget were also analysed by the Presidents.


Given the sensitivity of the issues under discussion, the statesmen decided to hold an extraordinary face-to-face meeting on 4 November in Luanda.
