The Angolan minister of Health, Silvia Lutcuta, said Friday that her country “highly appreciates” the support provided by Morocco in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
“We would like to express our gratitude to HM King Mohammed VI for this gesture of solidarity that will enable us to fight COVID-19,” Lutcuta told MAP on the sidelines of the ceremony of delivery of the Moroccan aid to Angola, which arrived Friday at Luanda international airport.
“HM the King’s Initiative represents a concrete action of African solidarity to help the countries of the continent in the fight against COVID-19,” she said, adding that it is “an initiative with a strong humanistic value that reflects the commitment to a united Africa”.
The Initiative also symbolizes the noble values of sharing and generosity, the Angolan minister said.
Lutcuta also commended the excellent relations of friendship and cooperation between Morocco and Angola. “These relations are stronger than ever,” she said, recalling that these distinguished ties date back to the period of Angola’s struggle for independence.
She also stressed that Morocco plays a leading role on the African scene, a role that is further strengthened by the multiple actions undertaken by the Kingdom for the benefit of the continent, particularly in the current context of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
