Diamantino Azevedo, Angolan Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas to follow a “strategy of reference” for the development of the country’s oil sector.
The two ministers met on stage during the first panel of the two-day AOG 2021 Conference, which serves as the second edition of Angola’s largest energy event, developed under the auspices of the Angolan Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas and organized by Energy Capital & Power.
