The deputy chairman of the Executive Council of Angola Strategic Study Centre (CEEA), col. Correia de Barros, praised the involvement of China in the reconstruction and development of the country, stating that this participation is opportune.

Speaking to Angop on Tuesday, in Luanda, the official stressed the fact that the Chinese contribution comes at this time of peace, due to their different ways of working as compared with other countries.

According to the Angolan Armed Forces officer, the Chinese presence in the country is useful.

"The Chinese have come to extend their support at a moment Angola needs to be re-built, especially after the achievement of peace."

De Barros added that CEEA will hold its 4th conference on April 10 this year under the motto "China - A precious partner, although polemic and mysterious", with the aim of gathering opinions linked to the "China Dossier", and to explain local people about their participation in the development of Angola and national reconstruction process.

The conference will take place due to constant rumours about the Chinese works and their participation in the development of the national economy, Correia de Barros, stated.

The number of Chinese works in the country, their cost, among other aspects, will be tackled at the conference, the official added.

Invited to attend the conference is the Finance minister, José Pedro de Morais, to make a contribute.

The 4th Conference is part of a cycle that includes "Angola: Today's reality, perspectives for tomorrow", intended to discuss matters of the actuality and outline plans for the country's future.
