Ambassador, Sianga Abílio, said on January 10, 2023, in Nairobi, that the year 2023 will require from the staff of the Diplomatic Mission that he heads a spirit of dedication for the full accomplishment of their responsibilities in the bilateral sphere with the Republic of Kenya and the other countries of diplomatic cover, namely, the Republic of Uganda, the Republic of South Sudan and the Federal Republic of Somalia.
According to Ambassador Sianga Abílio, who was speaking at a New Year greetings ceremony held at the Angolan Embassy in Nairobi, the work of the Diplomatic Mission should continue to give priority to the promotion of Economic Diplomacy and the important role played by Angola, in the person of the President João Lourenço, as a promoter of Regional Peace.
In the multilateral framework, said the Ambassador, it is a permanent challenge of the Permanent Mission of Angola to the UN Offices in Nairobi to work with the United Nations Environment Programme - UNEP and with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme - UN-HABITAT, to continue to represent with dignity the Republic of Angola and to dedicate all the effort for a greater intervention of these two United Nations programmes in benefit of the Republic of Angola.
Another task of the Diplomatic Mission for 2023, said the Ambassador, will be to prepare the participation of the Republic of Angola in the Second Session of the UN-Habitat Assembly, scheduled for early June, when the Republic of Angola ends its four-year term as member of the Executive Board of UN-Habitat.
In the chapter on human resources, the Diplomatic Mission will, during 2023, respond to the main concerns of its staff based on the legislation and other specific situations, on the other hand, complying with the decisions of the Ministry of External Relations in the framework of the regularization and normalization of the staff rotation process.
In his speech, the Ambassador Sianga Abílio praised the work of the Association of Angolans Resident in Kenya for having organized, during 2022, various events aimed at strengthening unity and cohesion amongst the members of the Angolan Community having assured that the Diplomatic Mission, within the framework of its consular responsibilities and others, will always have its doors open to, as far as possible, support the members of the Angolan Community.
