WINDHOEK (NNN-ANGOP): The Angolan government continues to execute programmes to re-launch the farming sector, meant to improve food production, the Speaker of the National Assembly, António Paulo Kassoma, has announced, in Namibia.

He said so when visiting a dairy products factory that produces 35 million litres of milk, yoghurt, juice and mineral water, under his three-day official visit to the neighbouring country.
