At the Presidential Palace, in addition to the meeting with the Angolan Head of State João Lourenço, the agenda includes signing of treaties, decorations and official lunch.

Bilateral relations between Angola and the Kingdom of Spain are based on the General Cooperation Agreement, signed on May 20, 1987, and the Complementary Agreement to the General Agreement signed in November 1987.
