Angola–Italy relations are the bilateral relations between Angola and Italy. Formal diplomatic relations were established on 4 June 1976.[1] Following the Angolan War of Independence, Italy was the first country of the Western Bloc to recognize the newly-formed Republic of Angola, on 18 February 1976.[1][2]

Economic relations

Angola is the third largest commercial partner for Italy in Subsaharan Africa. In 2022 the total volume of trade between the two countries reached € 1.8 billion. Exports from Angola amounted to €1.5 billion, most of which (93.2%) were crude oil exports, while the value of exports from Italy was €297 million. Among the Italian companies operating in Angola are Eni and Saipem in the oil sector, and Maire Tecnimont in the renewable energy sector.[3]

Diplomatic missions

The Italian Embassy to Angola is located in Luanda, and was established in July 2004.[4] The Angolan Embassy to Italy is located in Rome.[5]
