Luanda — The Angola Navy (MGA) that is celebrating its 33rd anniversary on Friday has all along managed to secure the inviolability of the country's maritime space and dissuade pirates' actions.
This was said by the Interior minister, Roberto Leal Monteiro "Ngongo", in a press note congratulating the MGA on its anniversary.
In the note, the minister states that Angola's wide maritime coast requires the country to be protected by a specialise body like the one founded on July 10, 1976.
According to him, while it was designed to protect the territorial waters, the present conjuncture requires the MGA, together with other institutions, to carry out other tasks like rescue and preservation of sea fauna.
