The United States of America (USA) expressed on Wednesday, September 10, interest in deepening economic cooperation with Mozambique for a “bright future,” in a year marking 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, reported Lusa.
According to the report, the commitment was made on the sidelines of a meeting between the President of the Republic, Daniel Chapo, and the Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Mozambique, Abigail Dressel, in Maputo.
“I had an excellent meeting with President Chapo, in which we discussed the 50 years of relations between the U.S. and Mozambique. We also talked about the future, which is bright, and that we will focus on the economic aspect,” said Dressel.
Furthermore, the U.S. representative emphasized that the new phase of cooperation will focus on “bringing prosperity” to the people of both countries and encouraging more American companies to do business in Mozambique. “We will work together in the area of security, a fundamental part of commercial diplomacy, security, and good governance,” Dressel explained, ensuring that the meeting paved the way for “even better” cooperation in the future.
In June this year, the U.S. reaffirmed its commitment to maintain and strengthen bilateral relations, highlighting Mozambique’s economic progress and its potential to attract foreign investment. The commitment was made during a meeting between the Minister of Economy, Basílio Muhate, and the head of the U.S. Government Delegation, Troy Fitrell, on the sidelines of the 17th U.S.-Africa Business Summit, which addressed diplomatic and commercial relations between the two nations, focusing on recently applied tariffs by Washington and the implementation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
