Huambo — The Angolan Culture minister, Rosa Cruz e Silva, is to travel Friday to Algeria, where she will participate in the Second Session of the African Culture Ministers Conference, set for 19-23 October.

To happen under the motto "Harmonising and coordinating cultural policies, programmes and activities", the event will serve for the Culture ministers to assess the latest developments in terms of cultural issues.
