Luanda, 10/9 – The creation of a multi-sectoral organ for coordination of actions to combat terrorism was the main recommendation from Angola’s Seminar on Upgrading and Drafting of Report on Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution on Terrorism Combat, held in Luanda from September 6-9. According to the head of department of UN Division of International Organisations of the Foreign Ministry, Mario Azevedo Constantino, who presented the results of the session to the press, the participants think this will help improve the level of coordination among the various institutions involved in the combat of terrorism.

Mário de Azevedo Constantino stated that from the Angolan Foreign Ministry’s perspective, the purposes have been reached, as there has been a great participation of those present, which enabled the drafting of the report. The official added that the seminar has helped improve the functioning and coordination of the various institutions, and upgrade the technicians from the various ministries involved in the implementation of the initiatives that have to do with the fight against terrorism. According to the official, the recommendations will be submitted to the concerned institutions for decision on subsequent steps.

The CPLP executive secretary was speaking in Shanghai, China, where he attended the 2nd meeting of the Association of Universities of the Portuguese Speaking Countries (AULP), held in Macau, from September 7-9. Domingos Simões mentioned the fact that the organisation’s president, Angolan head of State, José Eduardo dos Santos, has imparted a major boost towards the implementation of the recommendations from the latest Luanda meeting. The source said as well that after the meeting, the president considered it was better for the work to start immediately, for the establishment of an agenda to follow up the situation in Guinea Bissau and a chronogram for contacts with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The CPLP executive secretary announced he will be travelling soon to Portugal to work with an ECOWAS team and with the representative of the UN secretary general, as from September 15. The meeting, he added, will outline the topics for New York, where an agenda will be discussed, not only with the African Union, but also with Guinea’s international contact group, on September 20 this year. “What we want is that, by the end of the first phase, we can have very concrete evidences about what the directions from Luanda are,” he stressed.
