List of diplomatic missions of Angola explained

This is a list of diplomatic missions of Angola.

Angola was the second country after Portugal to open a consulate in Macau following the enclave's take over by the People's Republic of China; Macau, like Angola, has a Portuguese legacy, and most of its diplomatic missions overseas are located in Portuguese-speaking and Sub-Saharan African countries, with a handful located in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

This listing does not include honorary consulates.

History

In October 2018, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Angola (MIREX) closed a number of diplomatic missions overseas, citing budget cuts as the reason. These included the embassies in Athens, Mexico City, and Ottawa; the mission to the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) in Lisbon; and consulates general in Los Angeles, Durban, Faro, and Frankfurt.^[1]

Despite these closures, MIREX slowly expanded the Angolan diplomatic network by opening embassies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2021;^[2] in Dakar, Senegal; in 2022;^[3] and in Doha, Qatar, in 2023.^[4] A consulate-general was also opened in Toronto, Canada, in 2023.^[5]

2024 saw the largest expansion of the Angolan diplomatic network. In July, MIREX announced the opening of four embassies, in Canberra, Australia; Dili, East Timor; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Oslo, Norway. On the other hand, MIREX announced the closure of the embassy in Singapore, and the transfer of its ambassador to the embassy in Manila, Philippines.^[6] .
