The Angolan ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire, Gilberto Buta Lutucuta met last Thursday in Abidjan city, with his highness, Aga Khan, winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, who expressed his desire to visit the country.

At the occasion, Aga Khan said he wants to visit Angola with the intention to carry out a research, and as he has done in other countries, apply a rural development programme, with the installing of a micro-credit system.

In Côte d'Ivoire, where he paid a visit of some days, the winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, was received by the Ivorian President, Laurent Gbagbo, and signed last Wednesday, a convention to install the first micro-credit agency, in Abidjan.

The international community decided to attribute the Nobel Prize in economics, to the Asian, Aga Khan, for the creation and installing of micro-credit, in the framework of his fight against poverty in rural areas.
