Angola's State-owned Agostinho Neto University (UAN) chancellor, João Teta, left Saturday for the United States of America, on a cooperation reinforcement mission, in response to an invitation from the US secretary of State, Condeleeza Rice.

According to the official who released the information, chancellors of about 100 universities of the world will meet with the US secretary of State in Washington, to analyse the situation of higher education and globalisation and the relations between the institutions invited and US universities.

During his two-day visit, João Teta will meet with representatives of local universities with a view to reinforcing bilateral cooperation in the fields of agriculture, particularly concerning genetically modified products and the study of English language in Angola.

The chancellor said as well that he will visit the universities of Georgetown, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Pen State, with which his department wants to cooperate in the areas of scientific investigation and exchange of academic experience.

On the occasion, João Teta said his trip to the United States is a response to a Condoleeza Rice's invitation, not to receive an award that will be granted to 2,000 intellectuals of the world, as announced recently by the State-run daily paper, Jornal de Angola.
