Speaking in Maputo after swearing into office the newly appointed general directors and deputies, the minister acknowledged the work that AT has been doing to ensure the full functioning of the national economy, at a time when the country is struggling with adversities of various kinds, including Covid-19, a pandemic that is taking lives and attacking economies around the world.
