Angola celebrates its Independence Day on 11 November. On this day in 1975 the country became independent from Portugal, and in 2026 Angola marks 51 years of independence.
The GetCTN team congratulates the people of Angola and everyone whose work keeps goods moving to and from the country. Feliz Dia da Independência, Angola!
