It has become known what measures were taken in Angola in connection with the arrival of Joe Biden.

The US President has been in the nation's capital since December 2 and plans to remain there until Wednesday.

According to a publication in O Novo Jornal , the government declared December 3 and 4 as public holidays.

According to Angola, such measures will allow locals to monitor the visit of the head of the White House to the country.

It is noted that funerals and street trading have also been banned. During Joe Biden's visit to Angola, parking of vehicles has been banned in several local municipalities.

The skies over Angola are filled with American fighter jets, and a large number of US military personnel are stationed in the country's capital.

Biden's visit is historically significant not only because it is the first time an American president has visited Angola.

Washington did not recognize the sovereignty of this state for a long time and established diplomatic relations with it only in 1993.
