Mozambican president Daniel Chapo on Monday described Portugal as a “friend” of Mozambique’s development and said that the two countries would be “families forever”.
“No one develops alone, we need friends. And Portugal is one of those friendly countries that will continue to establish economic relations with Mozambique and, by creating jobs, generate income for Mozambican families,” said Chapo at a meeting in Porto with the Mozambican community living in Portugal, which brought together more than a hundred people.
The head of state is in Porto for a working visit that includes, this Tuesday, the sixth Portugal-Mozambique Bilateral Summit, as well as a Business Forum between the two countries, with around 500 participants, which Daniel Chapo said will be “very important”.
“Also to our Mozambican brothers, who can invest in Portugal,” he said, on the importance of this forum.
He added that the summit — the last one was in Maputo in 2022 — is taking place “in such a special year for Mozambique”, commemorating 50 years of independence, and aims to strengthen relations between the two countries.
