Angolan-Mozambican relations are linked with the political situation in Southern Africa, and more particularly with South African operations in the region, such as the disruption of railway lines by the South Africa-backed Mozambique National Resistance Movement, which affects the entire region [Legum C. ed. Africa Contemporary Record: Annual Survey and Documents, 1986-1987, (New York and London: Africana, 1988), p.B626; this document is attached to the response to information request AGO4900.]. Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano took part in the May 1989 peace plan meeting in Lusanda, Angola ["Angola: Peace Plan Unveiled" Africa Research Bulletin, 15 June 1989, p.9285.]. He was also present in the June and July 1989 Gbadolite-Kinshasa negotiations on peace in Angola [Andriamirado S. "Le marathon des faiseurs de paix", Jeune Afrique, no.1487, 5 July 1989.]. He was a signatory of the 22 June 1989 Gbadolite declaration, allowing for a temporary cease-fire between Luanda and UNITA ["Angola: Ceasefire Accord" Africa Research Bulletin, 15 June 1989, p.9317.].
