President El-Sisi highlighted the wide prospects for promoting the level of economic cooperation between Egypt and Mozambique, underlining the need to work toward further advancing trade exchange between the two countries to be commensurate with the outstanding bilateral relations between them. The President reiterated a mutual commitment to boosting the presence of Egyptian companies operating in Mozambique and encouraging new ones to invest there, particularly in the fields of infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries and health, in addition to continuing to provide support and capacity-building to the brothers in Mozambique in the various civilian and military areas.

The talks between the two Presidents saw an alignment in views with regard to a number of regional issues of mutual concern, notably the Sudanese crisis. They agreed on the need to hold intensive political consultations and coordination between the two countries during the coming period on urgent dossiers on the African scene. Those include developments in the various conflict zones in Africa and the negative repercussions of the ongoing global crises on efforts to push forward development processes in African countries, particularly in light of Mozambique’s election to the membership in the UN Security Council for the period 2023-2024.
