Business trip currency deal meant to spur Sino-Angolan trade

Representatives of the Angola-China Chamber of Commerce and Angolan travel agency Agência Sol Turismo will sign next month an agreement meant to make it easier for Angolans to obtain foreign currency for business trips to China, O País reports.

The Angolan newspaper quotes Angola-China Chamber of Commerce Vice-president Luis Gomes dos Santos as saying the purpose of the agreement is to promote Sino-Angolan trade.

Sino-Angolan trade, particularly Angolan imports from China, has slumped lately because of the Angolan financial crisis, O País quotes Mr Gomes dos Santos as saying.
