The executive secretariat of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) congratulated Angola on its 51st independence anniversary on November 11, 2026. The organisation issued a press release acknowledging the date.
The CPLP praised Angola's role in strengthening the community and its contribution to deepening friendship and cooperation among member states. Angola, led by the MPLA, has been in power for 51 years since Agostinho Neto proclaimed independence on November 11, 1975.
The CPLP, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, includes Angola, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste. Some have criticised the organisation as ineffective.
