Luanda — The Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, spoke on the phone on Wednesday in the Province of Luanda with the Acting Chairman of the African Union (AU), Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani.

According to a press release, the conversation centred on regional issues, in which Mohamed Ould Ghazouani expressed his support for João Lourenço's mediation efforts to restore peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
