Message from the President of Sierra Leone to President João Lourenço.

Sua Excelência Embaixadora Representante Dra. Margarida Izata, quando recebia, em audiência, nesta terça-feira, dia 20 de Abril, no seu gabinete, em Genebra, o seu homólogo da Serra Leoa, Sua Excelência Embaixador Lansana Gberie.

O diplomata serra-leonês foi portador de uma mensagem do Presidente Julius Maada Bio para o Chefe de Estado angolano, João Lourenço, que expressa a necessidade de Angola em aderir o Tratado sobre o Comércio de Armas (TCA).

De acordo com o Embaixador Lansana Gberie, ao juntar-se aos já 110 Estados Partes no TCA, Angola estará a dar uma contribuição inestimável para trazer a tão necessária responsabilidade e transparência ao comércio internacional de armas convencionais, reduzindo o sofrimento humano, promovendo a paz, os direitos humanos, a segurança e a estabilidade a nível global.
