António Agostinho Neto was last Saturday
paid a homage, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast,
by the "Homel-Fotê" Foundation
to acknowledge his contribution
to humanity, Africa, and particularly Angola.
The recognition was expressed in a conference
which was part of the activity to honour
world heroes, which was opened last Thursday
in an initiative of the Hemel-Fotê Foundation,
in which Angolan and Ivorian experts discussed
about the work and poetry of the Angolan
nation's founder.
In the meeting, the Ivorian First Lady,
Simone Ehivet Gbagbo, who is a member
of the managing board of the foundation,
the chairwoman of the Agostinho Neto Foundation,
Maria Eugénia Neto, and the Angolan ambassador
to Ivory Coast, praised the background
of the Angolan nation's founder
as poet, politician, statesman and humanist.
The Angolan delegation to the event, which was led
by the widow of Agostinho Neto, Maria Eugénia Neto,
comprises the Culture deputy minister,
Luís Kandijimbo, the secretary for foreign affairs
of the ruling MPLA party, Paulo Jorge,
the political analyst Belarmino Van-Duném,
as well as the ambassador to
that country Gilberto Buta Lutucuta.
The Angolan delegation had a dinner which
was offered by First Lady Simone Ehivet Gbagbo,
where diplomas of honours and a distinction
were handed over to president Agostinho Neto
for his contribution to universal history
and his fight for people's rights to independence.
Scheduled to return to Luanda this Sunday,
the Angolan delegation paid a courtesy visit
to the headquarters of the ruling Ivorian
People's Front party, as well as
met with female MPs, among other activities.
