Bilateral relations
Canada established diplomatic relations with Angola in 1978. The High Commission of Canada to Mozambique in Maputo serves Angola, as does an Honorary Consul in Luanda.
Canada and Angola maintain positive relations, the result originally of Canada’s important role in Angola’s peace process and since then based on the countries’ shared desire for peace and prosperity.
Trade relations
The Angolan market presents opportunities for Canadian businesses and investors in oil and gas, mining, infrastructure and clean technology sectors. In 2021, two-way merchandise trade between Canada and Angola totalled a value of $65.46 million, with $65.06 million worth of Canadian exports to and $ 396,921 of imports from Angola.
