Luanda — Angolan Ombudsman Florbela Araújo attends as of Tuesday the annual meeting of the International Ombudsman Institute to be held in New York, United States.

A press release that has reached ANGOP, states that the meeting of the "Ombudsmen", between the 10th and 12th, aims to analyse structural and financial aspects, the adhesion of new members, among others.
