+45

Relación general

+35

The enduring relationship combines a major historical rupture—US support for UNITA during Angola’s civil war—with a substantial post-1993 shift toward government-to-government cooperation. Recent strategic and infrastructure initiatives give the relationship a cooperative orientation, though its depth and durability depend on implementation and coexist with differing international alignments.
