Cairo – The Angolan ambassador to Egypt, Pedro Hendrik Vaal Neto, Sunday in Cairo, summoned the local press to speak about the African Football Cup of Nations (CAN2010) the country will host in January.

 
On the occasion, the Angolan diplomat informed the Egyptian journalists about the latest developments associated with the preparations for the competition and its importance to Angola.

The diplomat said whatever result of the competition might be, what matters is the growing affirmation of the name of Angola concerning its undertaking capacity.

The occasion served for the presentation of a video on the new stadiums and the cities that will host the competition, which aroused the interest of the journalists that attended the press conference.
