Luanda — The National Youth Council of Angola (CNJ) signed last Saturday, in Luanda, a cooperation agreement with its Guinea-Bissauan counterpart, aiming at an exchange in the implementation of juvenile policies.
The chairman of CNJ, Kikas Machado, said that this is an important convention, as it will allow the reinforcement of the relations between Angola and Guinea-Bissau, mainly in the promotion of juvenile associations and training for leaders of these organisations.
"Through this agreement, it will be possible to share experience and knowledge in management and leadership issues, as well as the elaboration of public policies linked to the resolution of problems that afflict the youth", he underlined.
On his turn, the chairman of Guinea-Bissau's youth council, Emmanuel dos Santos, said that despite cultural differences between both countries, this partnership is important in programmes elaboration for youths.
The signing of the agreement coincided with the closing of the workshop for the training of youth leaders, lectured by Brazilian and Portuguese experts, in the ambit of the national youth week.
The chairman of the Angolan CNJ, Cláudio Aguiar, congratulated the organisers of this seminar, underlining that the youths were prepared to work for their recognition in society.
The seminar discussed issues related to juvenile leadership, democracy, planning and implementation, the leader, skills, voluntary service and young people at the disposal of the Community.
The training was held in the ambit of 1 November, a date established for the African youth.
