Luanda — Angola and Guinea Bissau Armed Forces harmonised this Monday, here, the cooperation ties that will focus on staff training and technical assistance.
Thus, the delegations of the two countries' Army General Staffs, led by Angolan general Francisco Pereira Furtado and Guinea Bissau's Baptista Tagme Na Waé, started talks, at the Angolan Defence Ministry's Noble Hall.
General Francisco Furtado stressed as axis of cooperation the permanent exchange of delegations, training of Bissau-Guinean military personnel and the identification of areas for assistance aiming at its reinforcement and development.
"There will be given priority to the staff training, because it is the forces that were equipped with the same kind of means and settled the same techniques", Francisco Furtado explained.
The Angolan general referred that there will be also given special support to the upgrading of officers, from the different sectors and echelons of the Guinea-Bissau Armed Forces, fundamentally in what concerns the Special Forces.
However, general Baptista Nawae held this Monday a courtesy meeting with the Angolan Defence minister Kundi Paihama and visited the managements of the Army and Air Forces.
