231. We felt great grief at the death of Agostinho Neto, the President of the People's Republic of Angola, who led his people towards national independence and played a prominent role in the African struggle, that led to Angola occupying its rightful place among the nations of the world. Earlier we had been deeply grieved by the death of the great national leader Houari Boumediene, the President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, who had effectively contributed to the Arab and African struggle. Under his leadership the Algerian people made great achievements.
