TotalEnergies’ Chairman and Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne met Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi this Friday to discuss the humanitarian situation in the country’s Cabo Delgado province, where TotalEnergies has a project, the oil company said.
Pouyanne “visited the Afungi industrial site, the resettlement village of Quitunda, the towns of Palma and Mocimboa da Praia and met with President Filipe Nyusi to discuss the security and humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado province, where the Mozambique LNG project is located,” reads the communique.
The French company added that it had entrusted Jean-Christophe Rufin, whom it said was an expert in humanitarian action and human rights, with an independent mission to assess the humanitarian situation in Cabo Delgado province.
“This mission will also evaluate the actions taken by Mozambique LNG and will propose any additional actions to be implemented, if required. The report of this mission will be delivered at the end of February and its conclusions will be shared with all Mozambique LNG’s partners, who shall decide whether the conditions are met for resuming project activities,” adds the communique.
“Since 2021, the situation in Cabo Delgado province has improved significantly, thanks in particular to the support provided by the African countries that committed themselves to restore peace and security,” said Patrick Pouyanné in the statement.
“The lifting of the force majeure and the resumption of activities at the Mozambique LNG project site require, in particular the restoration of security in the region, the resumption of public services and the return to normal life for the people of the region. The mission entrusted to Jean-Christophe Rufin should enable Mozambique LNG’s partners to assess whether the current situation allows for a resumption of activities while respecting human rights,” added the CEO of TotalEnergies, quoted in the comunique.
