Visit to His Excellency Honorable Minister Tete Antonio
During his internship in Angola, Dylan had two significant encounters with Honorable Minister Tete Antonio -Minister of External Relations. His first interaction was a late lunch on the second day, where he found Minister Tete to be a 'very powerful person' and described the experience as 'surreal' when he introduced himself and shook the Minister's hand. The second, more impactful meeting occurred on the third day at the Ministry building, where Honorable Minister Tete Antonio and other Ministers were present to give full approval to the ICCOUNCIL and CIMPAD projects, which were successfully granted. This direct involvement in securing project approval, followed by media interviews with Honorable Minister Tete Antonio and project members, provided Dylan with a profound understanding of high-level diplomatic processes and the influence of government officials in international initiatives.
