Luanda — A fish warehouse will be built soon in Angola's central Kwanza Sul province, under an investment to address conservation needs.
The information was released Monday in Luanda by the deputy minister of Fisheries, Vitória de Barros Neto, while speaking to MPs of the 5th Commission of the National Assembly (Angolan Parliament).
According to the MP, the plan designed to lessen the difficulties facing local fisheries, includes the construction of the Kikombo Port Terminal and a warehouse in Kwanza Sul.
The deputy minister said the construction of the said infrastructures does not mean the Government has forgotten the province's main undertaking that is the "Peskwanza" fisheries undertaking.
She said that the construction of the above mentioned infrastructures was found to be a convenient transitional solution, ahead of the "Peskwanza" undertaking.
Meanwhile, attending the parliamentary session, the secretary of State for Rural Development, Maria Filomena Delgado, said the institution is partner to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, in the implementation of projects within the frameworks of the Kwanza Sul and Benguela province rural development plan.
She said the partnership is meanly designed to reduce unemployment and boost the emergence of non-agricultural cooperatives, aimed at the diversification of the economy in the rural area.
The Parliament's 5th Commission session was attended by Government officials representing the ministries of Industry, Oil, Geology and Mining, Transports, Public Works, Hotels and Tourism and the State Department of State for Water.
