According to the Algerian official, the visit to Mozambique aims to monitor the implementation of the cooperation roadmap between the two countries and to initiate the execution of the guidelines emanating from the meeting between Presidents Daniel Chapo and Abdelmadjid Tebboune, held last September in Algiers.
Mourad Adjal recalled that during that meeting, the two Heads of State discussed ways to promote “a new and promising dynamic of partnership between the two countries,” focusing on structural projects that contribute to sustainable development and job creation.
He announced that the Algerian delegation brought two concrete proposals to Maputo to strengthen bilateral cooperation. “The first consists of the creation of a joint company dedicated to the manufacture of electrical equipment, while the second plans the construction of a 40.2 MW electricity production plant for the Republic of Mozambique.”
