Foreign relations of Angola

Theforeign relations of Angolaare based on Angola's strong support ofU.S. foreign policyas theAngolan economyis dependent on U.S. foreign aid. From 1975 to 1989, Angola was aligned with theEastern bloc,in particular theSoviet Union,[1]Libya,[citation needed]andCuba.[1]Since then, it has focused on improving relationships withWestern countries,cultivating links with other Portuguese-speaking countries, and asserting its own national interests in Central Africa through military and diplomatic intervention.[1]In 1993, it established formal diplomatic relations with the United States.[1]It has entered theSouthern African Development Communityas a vehicle for improving ties with its largely Anglophone neighbors to the south.[1]ZimbabweandNamibiajoined Angola in its military intervention in theDemocratic Republic of the Congo,where Angolan troops remain in support of theJoseph Kabilagovernment.[1]It also has intervened in theRepublic of the Congo(Brazzaville) in support of Denis Sassou-Nguesso in the civil war.[1]

Since 1998, Angola has successfully worked with theUnited Nations Security Councilto impose and carry out sanctions onUNITA.[2]More recently, it has extended those efforts to controls onconflict diamonds,the primary source of revenue for UNITA during the Civil War that ended in 2002.[2]At the same time, Angola has promoted the revival of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) as a forum for cultural exchange and expanding ties withPortugal(its former ruler) and Brazil (which shares many cultural affinities with Angola) in particular.[1][2]Angola is a member of thePort Management Association of Eastern and Southern Africa(PMAESA).
