Presidente moçambicano, Filipe Nyusi, participa na 37ª Cimeira da União Africana, em Addis Abeba, Etiópia
Maputo, 19 Feb (AIM) – Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi believes that the 37th African Union Summit gave a positive note to the country’s agenda of preserving the environment and fighting against all types of violence, including the terrorism that has been plaguing the northern province of Cabo Delgado since 2017.
According to Nyusi, who was speaking on Sunday to reporters to take stock of Mozambique’s participation in the event, held in Addis Ababa, “We made a fundamental intervention, but in the sense of condemning all forms of violence, including violent extremism, and unconstitutional changes of government.”
The President, during the summit, focused his intervention on promoting peace and combating terrorism, “sharing with other Heads of State the unique experience adopted by Mozambique on fighting terrorism multilaterally with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM), but also bilaterally with Rwanda.”
Nyusi explained that Tanzania helps within the framework of SAMIM, but also works with Mozambique bilaterally.
On the other hand, Nyusi said that the African Union advised that “Blue Growth”, as a continental initiative, should be followed by all counties “because Mozambique alone can’t do anything.”
“We’re going to work to bring this message across in a profound way. We made it clear that if we don’t conserve nature, there will be no peace”, he noted.
Nyusi announced that he had the support of his counterparts to such an extent that they had confirmed their presence at the conference on the Miombo forests to be held in the USA in April, and had even received their invitations.
Other topics such as agriculture, education, nutrition, digitalization, the creation of a free trade area, among others, were debated at the two-day summit.
On Sunday, the President also held a courtesy meeting with the World Bank’s Vice President for Africa, Victdria Kwakwe, to discuss bilateral cooperation.
