In a move to bolster economic ties and cooperation, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau have agreed to establish a joint commission. This new partnership will facilitate the sharing of expertise and best practices across key sectors, including agriculture, mining, and energy, driving growth and development in both nations.
The announcement was made last week during a three-day working visit by Guinea-Bissau’s President Umaro Sissoco Embaló to Mozambique at the invitation of his counterpart President Filipe Nyusi.
During the meeting, Mozambique’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Verónica Macamo and her Guinean counterpart Carlos Pinto Pereira signed an agreement to stimulate cooperation between the countries.
Meanwhile, the heads of state discussed the peace situation in Mozambique, with special attention placed on terrorism in the Cabo Delgado province and the process of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) militant group.
“We addressed the current stage of the fight against terrorism in the northern province of Cabo Delgado; the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process of Renamo’s residual force; the fixing of military pensions; the functioning of the legislative, executive and judicial bodies; and the performance of the economy,” President Nyusi stated.
President Embaló highlighted the importance of business, cultural exchange, academic cooperation and sports, emphasizing that diplomatic dialogue remains a requisite for strengthening and maintaining bilateral collaboration.
