In characterising the Angolan industrial sector, Kiala Gabriel stated that the country has gained an accelerated momentum to promote direct private investment in the sector.
He said the private investor must take an active role as it is a privileged partner in the implementation of government policies.
According to him, the creation of industrial zones in the provinces will facilitate the emergence of new economic growth points capable of providing more direct and indirect jobs for thousands of people, thus reducing regional asymmetries in the fight of poverty.
