The MOU was signed today in Luanda by New Fortress Chairman and CEO Wes Edens and Hon. Diamantino Azeved, Minister of Mineral Resources and Petroleum. The President of Angola also approved the MOU with New Fortress.

Diamantino Azeved, Minister of Mineral Resources and Petroleum. “This unprecedented event involves the approval of three ministries and is supported by the President of Angola to move the country in a new direction.”
