Luanda, Angola. (News of The South) – German Chancellor, Angela Merkel has promised to strengthen relations with Angola. Merkel said Germany will help combat corruption and will also assist with infrastructure investment as well as navy boats.

Merkel stressed that fighting against corruption is key for Angola if they want to attract future investment.

The German Chancellor also backed an international Luanda Leaks corruption investigation into Angolan billionaire Isabel dos Santos, the eldest daughter of former Angolan President, Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
“I can only welcome the fact that there is strong commitment in investigating corruption, should German companies or financial institutions play a role through such disclosure, then Germany of course promises to help with clarification in a very transparent way,” said Merkel.

The German Chancellor, who was wrapping up a three day tour in southern Africa, also announced an air transport agreement that includes the expansion of air traffic between Angola and Germany.

Merkel also considered fulfilling Angola’s request for German navy boats, something the country has asked for since the German Chancellor’s first visit to Angola in 2011.
Angolan President, Joao Lourenco welcomed Germany’s vested interests in Angola, “we are doing our part, creating a better business involvement in Angola day after day.

One of the measures is precisely fighting corruption. So, foreign investment in Angola is safe. There is a guaranteed return and if it happens everyone will win.”
