Filipe Nyusi’s four-day visit to the United Arab Emirates began on Sunday and comes at the invitation of his counterpart, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Tiago Castigo, Mozambique’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates told the media in Abu Dhabi.
As part of the visit, according to the source, the parties will at least sign an agreement for economic and technical cooperation, but there are two other memorandums of understanding still being drafted on defense cooperation and on the fight against terrorism.
“There are also contacts to establish a visa waiver agreement on diplomatic and service passports, and we want this agreement to be extended to normal passports as well. It is also our concern that there is a direct air connection between the two countries and the Minister of Transport and Communication, Mateus Magala, is here and will hold meetings in this scope”, explained the Ambassador of Mozambique in the United Arab Emirates.
Latest data released by CTA – Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique pointed the United Arab Emirates as the fifth among the main trading partners of Mozambique, with the volume of trade between the two countries reaching about US$550 million (559 million euros) in 2019.
