Why would he have to meet her? Her father hasn't been dictator for years now and she is on a wanted list by other countries.
I'm glad the King and Queen will be visiting Angola.

No Banquet, so to see. It looks more a working visit than a State Visit, I must say.

Maybe Angola doesn't do state banquets (it was a Soviet Union satellite country not so long ago). Anyway it doesn't surprise me.

It was a most lackluster 'State Visit' and felt more like an Official one!
