Today in Luanda, the ambassadors of Zambia and the DRC participated in the signing ceremony of the Host Country Agreement between the Government of Angola and the Lobito Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency (LCTTFA).

The ceremony was presided over by His Excellency Mr. Ricardo Viegas D'Abreu, Minister of Transport of Angola, together with Dr. Amadeu Nunes, Executive Secretary (Director-General) of the LCTTFA Secretariat.
This Agreement formally establishes the LCTTFA Secretariat in Angola, granting it full legal personality, privileges and immunities, which are the necessary institutional basis for implementing the shared vision of Angola, Zambia and the DRC.
