SECRETARY KERRY: Well, good morning. Again, it's my distinct pleasure
to welcome Vice President Vicente here to Washington and to tell him
how much I appreciated my welcome when I was in Angola. We had a
wonderful visit with President Dos Santos, with the foreign minister,
and much of his delegation who are here today.

I want to thank him and the Government of Angola for their tremendous
cooperation and their leadership with respect to the Kimberley Process
and the Great Lakes Process, with respect to the Democratic Republic
of Congo, the M23, the FDLR, and the issue of trying to resolve that
crisis once and for all. Their leadership has been very, very
important.

We have also have been - and they chair, I might add, the
International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, and help - and
have helped significantly resolving that conflict. President Dos
Santos' stature, his seniority in the region, and his leadership have
been very, very important to helping to set up the principles, which
have helped to bring that crisis to a road, a path, that everybody
understands could bring peace.

In addition, we have strengthened our economic relationship with
Angola, and we look forward to doing so even more. And we congratulate
Angola on the significant job that they have done to help to
reintegrate some 500,000-plus people who were displaced as a result of
their very long civil war.

So there is a great deal that is happening, and Angola is one of the
countries that is evidence of the transformation that is taking place
in Africa. And we are very happy to welcome the vice president here
today and to have a chance to talk about these things. Thank you.

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: Thank you very much.

SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you, sir. Please.

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: Well, I'm - I'll address to you in Portuguese.

SECRETARY KERRY: I think we have somebody to -

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: I don't know if there is a translation here.
Okay. (In Portuguese.)

SECRETARY KERRY: (In Portuguese.) Do we have our - we don't have him
here. I know he's speaking - we were counting on his excellent
English, which I know he speaks, but basically - do you want to
summarize, or do you want me to just say -

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: You can.

SECRETARY KERRY: The quickest summary in the world is that he said he
was very happy to be here in Washington with the Secretary of State,
very happy to be here as part of this conference, that he looks
forward to working with us and the continued stabilization of the
continent of Africa. He talked about the growth and development and
economic relationship. And I think that's the quickest summary. Is
that fair?

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: That's good.

SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you. All right.

VICE PRESIDENT VICENTE: Thank you.
