An 11-member senior delegation from Angola visited Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) here today.
The delegation led by Angola Agriculture Minister Afonso Pedro Canga invited the officials of the university to Angola in order to see and understand the agricultural challenges faced by Angola, as it is in a phase of reconstruction after being ravaged in war, a release said.
Canga also mentioned the use of PAU maize and rice varieties for propagation in Angola to increase food production in the country.
PAU Vice Chancellor B S Dhillon, while interacting with the Angolan delegation, said that the chances of collaboration are stronger due to similar agro ecology.
He accepted the partnership proposal for Angolan students and also offered to undertake exchange programmes for faculty, students and farmers with the African country.
