Angolan President João Lourenço on Monday held a phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the conflict in Ukraine.
“The military conflict in which Ukraine has been involved since last February was the topic discussed,” the Angolan presidency said in a statement.
The Ukrainian president said they discussed important issues of cooperation within the UN, according to a tweet.
The pair also talked about Monday’s Russian missile attacks in Ukraine, he added.
President Zelensky has been reaching out to African leaders to consolidate diplomatic support against Russia’s invasion of his country.
Angola was among dozens of African countries that abstained from a UN resolution in March condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
