Angola-U.S. Sign Law Enforcement and Security MOU as Angola Continues to Progress on Anti-Corruption

The current Angolan administration of João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço continues to work to strengthen its efforts on anti-corruption and improved governance.  In this regard, the United States government is increasingly helping its efforts. On July 1, 2019, the Angolan and United States government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the field of Security and Public Order.    The MOU will enable the two governments to cooperate in the fields of information exchange related to the prevention, investigation, and combat of criminal activity, including the collection and processing of evidence.  The MOU encourages the exchange of information on criminal investigation techniques, the implementation of professional training programs, and exchange of delegations.[1]
