Luanda — The president of the West African nation of Benin, Boni Yayi, said Monday here that Angola and his country have always moved together in difficult moments.

Boni Yayi, who was speaking to journalists, at Luanda's "4 de Fevereiro" International Airport, shortly after his arrival, said that his official visit to the Southern African country serves to transmit and renew the love and the solidarity of Beninese people.

The trip, the first of its kind, will also enable the strengthening of bilateral cooperation ties in its more different domains, stressed Beninese president, who added that such a cooperation would be focussed on the sectors of Oil, Health, Military, Culture, Scientific and Commercial Exchange.

The West African country's statesman said that in the health sphere, Benin might transmit its experience in the fight against falciform anaemia.

Boni Yayi, at the head of his government's delegation, will hold talks with the Angolan leader José Eduardo dos Santos, on bilateral interest issue, with a view to the strengthening of friendship and cooperation ties between both peoples and governments.
