HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE DIET,EXCELLENCIES,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE CELEBRATIONS OF THE 34TH ANNIVERSARY OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE ARE BEING HELD AT A TIME WHEN A CLIMATE OF PEACE, CONCORD AND HARMONY PREVAILS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
IN THE ECONOMIC SPHERE, DESPITE THE ONGOING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS THAT HAS BEEN SHAKING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY SINCE LAST YEAR, WE ARE HAPPY TO NOTE WITH SATISFACTION THAT UNDER THE WISE LEADERSHIP OF HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT JOSE EDUARDO DOS SANTOS, THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY KEEPS GROWING SATISFACTORILY.
IT IS IN THIS CONTEXT THAT ANGOLA IS REGARDING THE ONGOING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH IN THE COUNTRY, BY THE FACT THAT IT HAS LED US TO DEVELOP OTHER INITIATIVES, ESPECIALLY POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ONES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF DIVERSIFICATION OF THE VARIOUS SOURCES OF INCOME, THUS MAKING THE ECONOMY LESS DEPENDENT ON OIL AND AT THE SAME TIME PROTECTING IT FROM EXTERNAL SHOCKS.
