Zambia–Angola Bilateral Trade Ministerial Meeting

The Zambia–Angola Bilateral Trade Ministerial Meeting was held on 14^th April, 2022 in Luanda, Angola. During the Ministerial Meeting, Angola requested for the list of products to be revised in line with Article VI of the Agreement. There was no new proposed list from Zambia as the initial submitted list was considered comprehensive.

Zambia and Angola signed an addendum to operationalise the Bilateral Trade Agreement that was signed in 2016. Angola is yet to issue a statutory instrument to operationalise the Agreement as Zambia already issued SI 74 of 2018 to operationalise the Agreement.
