Soviet Union signs pact with Angola
International
NZPA-Reuter Moscow President Neto of Angola has left Moscow for Leningrad after signing a 20-year friendship treaty with the Soviet Union which observers regard as giving the Kremlin a firm foothold in potentially-ex-plosive southern Africa. Dr Neto was due to spend the rest of the week-end In the Soviet
Union’s second city before travelling on to Bulgaria, probably today. He was seen off at Moscow Airport by President Podgomy. Under the treaty, which was signed by the Marxist Angolan leader and the General Secretary of the Soviet Union Communist Party (Mr Brezhnev), the two countries among other things, pledge to continue
to “develop their co-oper-ation in the military sphere in the interests of strengthening their defence capacity.” They also agree to cooperate in “supporting the just struggle of the peoples for sovereignty, freedom, independence, and social progress,” according to the full text of tiie document published in the Communist Party newspaper, "Pravda.”
