According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation. During her stay, President Murmu will hold talks with President Lourenço and attend Angola’s 50th Independence Day celebrations on November 11. This is the first visit by an Indian head of state to Angola, underscoring the growing India-Africa partnership.

MEA Secretary Sudhakar Dalela said India supported Angola’s freedom struggle and continues to expand cooperation across key sectors. He noted that President Lourenço’s earlier visit to India opened new avenues in trade, energy, and defence.

President Murmu will also address the Angolan Parliament and meet members of the Indian community. After completing her engagements in Angola, she will travel to Botswana from November 11 to 13 to further strengthen bilateral ties with that nation.

All-rounder Deepti Sharma led the team’s victory with an outstanding all-round performance, scoring 58 runs and taking five wickets for 39. Her efforts ensured India posted a strong total of 298/7 in 50 overs.

South Africa’s chase ended at 246 in 45.3 overs, despite a valiant effort from captain Laura Wolvaardt. Key moments, like Tazmin Brits’ run-out by Amanjot Kaur, shifted the game in India’s favor. The Indian bowlers held their composure to secure a memorable win and clinch the nation’s maiden Women’s World Cup title.

With this triumph, India joined England and Australia as the only nations to win both men’s and women’s ODI World Cups. President Murmu said the victory would inspire generations of young women cricketers and elevate Indian women’s cricket to greater heights.
