NYUSI CALLS FOR STRENGTHENED COOPERATION TO IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS
Maputo, 12 Jan (AIM) – Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has called for strengthened international cooperation as a mechanism for improving the living conditions of the people and developing Mozambique’s economy.
In a statement received on Thursday morning by AIM, concerning the virtual participation of Mozambique in the Inaugural Session of the Global Summit on “Voices of the South”, Nyusi said that peace and cooperation are crucial factors for development.
The government, reads the statement, has a high interest in developing and strengthening international cooperation, forming productive partnerships that contribute to adding value, transforming resources within the country and accelerating economic growth, aiming to improve living conditions, which must involve the development of human capital.
“The country looks to this event as an opportunity to share ideas and experiences with India and other states, public and private institutions, academics and representatives of civil society, to discuss increasingly complex contemporary challenges, and chart the course for sustainable global development”, said the president.
For the rapid development of the country, according to Nyusi, “my Government has chosen the pillars of Human Capital Development; Productive Base Infrastructure Development; Research, Innovation and Technological Development, and Institutional Coordination.”
It is Mozambique’s desire, reads the document, to see increased investment and access to financial and technological resources focused on the development of human resources.
“It is the people’s desire that external investments from developed countries should contribute to the transformation of the economies of developing countries, through industrialization, adding value to natural resources”, the president said.
The Summit, according to Nyusi’s statement, constitutes “a space that brings together countries that share a historical legacy, marked by various scourges, as well as the struggles for our independence, and the commercial and cultural exchanges between our countries and peoples.”
