Nyusi Sets Off For Four Day Visit To UAE
Maputo, 16 Jan (AIM) – Mozambique is taking to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) its vision and experience regarding energy transition, in the context of mitigating climate change, President Filipe Nyusi told reporters on Sunday.
He was speaking shortly before starting a four day visit to the UAE at the invitation of his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The UAE, he said, “have a programme called the Week of Sustainability, which will deal with zero carbon emissions, the containment of climate change and energy transition, subjects on which Mozambique has a great deal to say”.
Nyusi added that Mozambique will continue to deepen its relations with the UAE. The potential areas of cooperation include roads, real estate, agriculture and defence and security. An Emirati team, he said, had recently toured Mozambique from north to south, looking at the condition of the roads.
The two countries are looking at what can be done in the area of roads, “and I am very interested in continuing this”, said Nyusi.
This included mobilising investments for the complete rehabilitation on Mozambique’s main north-south highway (EN1).
Rehabilitating EN1, said Nyusi, “is one of the great challenges I am taking with me on this visit. Discussions on finance are at a very advanced stage with the UAE authorities”.
