The heads of State of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema; Uganda, Yoweri Museveni; and Tanzania, Samia Suluhu, will also participate in the event, dedicated to the situation on the continent, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.

The Foreign Minister of Angola, Téte António, considered that Angola’s presence in the panel is a matter of “great interest”, as it will give the opportunity to show the national vision on a subject of marked economic and environmental importance.

The initiative is part of the activities of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW), which aims to be a global platform for the search of alternatives to environmental problems, including the effects of extreme weather changes.

According to the Emirati government, the ADSW reflects the UAE’s commitment to convening the international community and ensuring collaboration in order to promote sustainable economic and social development.

On this occasion, the event will serve as a prelude to the next conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP 28, which will take place in the UAE at the end of this year.
