For Paulino Jerónimo, the agreement formalizes a relationship of more than three years with the ANP, highlighting the experience of the counterpart agency and the brotherhood relationship between the Angolan and Brazilian peoples.
“One of the points we want to reinforce is our regulatory framework. We want to gain this experience that the ANP has”.

Rodolfo de Saboia appealed for the relevance of the agreement, which he considers very promising.
The official also highlighted the brotherhood relationship between the peoples, stressing that the agreement transcends the interest of both countries in the exploitation of their natural resources and hydrocarbons.
“Brazil and Angola have a common past, a close culture with the same origin and a very close feeling of brotherhood”.

“This proximity is achieved through this mutual exchange of experience and knowledge that each country can offer”, he reinforced.
