The Prime Minister is today presiding over the celebration of Mozambique National Day at Expo Dubai 2020, which has been taking place in the United Arab Emirates since October 1. Carlos Agostinho do Rosário is accompanied by the Ministers of Industry and Commerce, Carlos Mesquita, and of Culture and Tourism, Edelvina Materula, as well as staff from various Mozambican state institutions.
In addition to government members, representatives of economic associations, businesspeople from various branches and civil society agents from both countries are in Dubai.
Representing the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, Carlos Agostinho do Rosário delivered a speech alluding to the Day of Mozambique at the event, and then took a guided tour of the Mozambique Pavilion, decorated with the colours of the national flag and showcasing its economic potential and vast cultural mosaic.
The Mozambican Prime Minister’s work agenda began this weekend with separate meetings with representatives of the Government and businesspeople from the United Arab Emirates, who have already identified at least three areas of interest in Mozambique.
On Sunday, UAE businesspeople expressed interest in investing in Mozambique in the sectors of renewables, health and information and communication technologies.
Mozambique Day and Mozambique UAE Business Forum
Mozambique Day highlights the country’s participation in Expo Dubai, reinforcing relations of friendship and cooperation between Mozambique and the UAE, seeking partnerships with the countries participating in the event, and showcasing the country’s economic potential in a way that will attract investment and foster business opportunities.
Mozambique will present several projects and will be represented from North to South, showing its investment opportunities with the emphasis on Agriculture, Energy, Infrastructure and Tourism.
Agostinho do Rosario will lead the official opening of the Mozambique-United Arab Emirates Business Forum at 2h30m pm today [local time], during which representatives of the Government and Mozambican business people will have the opportunity to present the investment potential of the country and interact with their counterparts from the United Arab Emirates. Minister of Industry and Commerce, Carlos, Mesquita, will also preside over the Business Forum which ends tomorrow.
In a briefing to the Mozambican press in Dubai, the Mozambican ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Tiago Castigo, said that the Government had invited Arab businesspeople to visit our country, to get to know its potential.
The agenda for Mozambique National Day included a visit to the pavilion of the host country, visit to the Pavilion of Mozambique, bilateral meeting between the governments of Mozambique and the United Arab Emirates, Mozambique – United Arab Emirates Business Forum and Networking, and cultural sessions by several Mozambican artists, including musicians Valdemiro José, Hélder Gonzaga, Onésia Muholove and Radja Ali with artistic direction by Moreira Chonguiça.
For Mozambique’s participation in Expo Dubai to bring immediate results, it is intended to promote and disseminate a good image, the exchange of innovative experiences to face the current challenges and the establishment of new partnerships in the economic, social, cultural and technical-scientific fields.

Healthy trade growth
Trade between our country and the United Arab Emirates is worth US$700 million per year, largely driven by the recent creation of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in Mozambique.
Sustainability is the topic chosen by Mozambique for the Expo, which is why its pavilion is located in an area where other countries which have also decided to adopt this theme are located.
This edition of the Expo was to have taken place between October 2020 and March last year, but was postponed for a year following the outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic, and for that reason retains the title, Expo Dubai 2020.
Today we are excited to celebrate Mozambique 🙌
