The chancellor of Angola's State-run Agostinho Neto University (UAN), João Teta, is attending a meeting with the US secretary, Condoleeza Rice, on Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington (USA).
According to João Teta who released the information to Angop in Luanda before leaving for the States on Saturday, chancellors from about 100 universities around the world will attend the meeting with the US secretary of State.
The meeting, according to him, is meant for an analysis of the situation of higher education in the world, globalisation and the perspectives for the existing relations between the institutions invited and US universities, with a view to the reinforcement of cooperation.

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.
