The Minister of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas, Diamantino Pedro Azevedo, said Wednesday 5th April that Namibia can help Angola in the exploration of diamonds and uranium from the sea.
The announcement was made during a joint declaration by Angola and Namibia, on the sidelines of a technical meeting between the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy and an Angolan delegation, headed by the oil minister, who traveled to that country.
In the statement, the Angolan minister said that the possibility of cooperation between the two countries also envisages the exchange of experience in the mining register, legislation and regulations, in terms of oil, gas and other minerals.
The parties may also discuss, according to minister Diamantino Azevedo, matters related to the issue of diamonds, in terms of cutting and polishing, and all matters relating to the improvement of the internal cutting strategy, in order to attract more investors.
The National Petroleum Institute (INP) will present its set of courses focused on mining and hydrocarbons, followed by the exchange of experience between the two countries in the field of exploration and production of hydrocarbons in reserved areas (such as the Okavango), as well as investment opportunities in the mining and hydrocarbon industries, says the document to which Jornal de Angola had access.
