{{Central African Republic (CAR) President Catherine Samba-Panza arrived in Luanda Tuesday for a two-day visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties between both countries.}}
In 2010, the two nations signed general cooperation accord plus political and diplomatic consultation protocol.
President Samba-Panza who did not speak to journalists upon arrival will meet her Angolan counterpart on Wednesday.
Angolan Foreign Affairs Minister Gorges Chikoti said Luanda would grant a credit line to CAR to help solve humanitarian crisis and improve the security situation in the country.
Angola will also train CAR police officers.
“Both leaders will discuss ways to increase cooperation between the two countries and how to improve the regional situation,” he added.
“We are working to grant a concession credit with low and simple interests. It has to do with a long term help aimed to strengthen police army institutions.”
Last month, Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos took over the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) presidency.
The ICGLR includes twelve states: Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia.
Ms Samba-Panza, former mayor of Bangui, was on January elected interim president of the Central African Republic tasked with restoring peace to the country torn by sectarian bloodshed.
According to the last report presented by the UN general secretary Ban Ki-moon to the Security Council, the situation in CAR remains fragile.
The former French colony was thrown into chaos after rebels from the mainly Muslim Seleka group seized power in a March 2013 coup.
