It should be noted that each Territory under Portuguese administration is a .separate case with its own special features, which must thus be considered in the light of those special features in a pragmatic and realistic manner. The case of Angola, for example, is one of enormous complexity because of various factors, the principal one being the diversity indeed, the division among the necessary partners in negotiations. It is also, of all the Territories under Portuguese colonial domination, the one with the largest population of European origin. Nevertheless, contacts have been made on various levels, not only with the liberation movements,, but also with the leaders of neighboring countries, and we are sure that in the case of Angola, as in the previous cases, the best possible solution will be. found, a solution which assures an independent future free of colonial and neo-colonial pressures and promotes the progress and racial harmony of its people.
