The Republic of Angola and the Argentine Republic are members of the Group of 77 and the United Nations.

History

During the Atlantic slave trade, Portugal and Spain transported many African slaves from Angola to Brazil, and from there were transported to Argentina. In November 1975, Angola gained its independence from Portugal. In September 1977, Argentina recognized the independence and established diplomatic relations with Angola.

Soon after gaining independence, Angola entered into a civil war which lasted until 2002. In 1985, Argentine Foreign Minister, Dante Caputo, paid a visit to Angola. In May 2005, Angolan President, José Eduardo dos Santos, paid an official visit to Argentina. In May 2012, Argentine President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, paid an official visit to Angola.

In 2013, Angolan Foreign Minister, Georges Rebelo Chikoti, paid a visit to Argentina and met his counterpart, Héctor Timerman. During the visit, both Foreign Ministers held a meeting within the framework of the political consultation mechanisms and discussed current bilateral relations between both nations.
