The President of the Republic of Mozambique, Daniel Chapo, visited the Navy’s Naval Base in Pemba, Cabo Delgado province, this Wednesday.

The main objective of the Head of State’s visit was to assess the level of readiness of the Defence and Security Forces (FDS) in the current context of challenges to national security.

During the visit, the President toured several areas of the naval base, where he received detailed information on the operation of the facilities, the resources available and the operational status of the troops.

Accompanied by senior military commanders, Daniel Chapo interacted with officers and soldiers, seeking to understand first-hand the working conditions and needs of the forces stationed in the region.

The province of Cabo Delgado has been the scene of security-related challenges, making it essential to strengthen the response capacity of the FDS.

The President’s presence at the naval base reinforces the government’s commitment to ensuring that the armed forces have the necessary resources to fulfil their mission of defending national sovereignty and protecting the population.

At the end of the visit, Daniel Chapo highlighted the importance of the continued strengthening of the Defence and Security Forces and reiterated the Government’s commitment to modernising military resources.

The President also stressed the need for coordinated action between the various forces on the ground to ensure the country’s stability and progress.

The presidential visit to the Pemba Naval Base is part of a series of strategic actions aimed at assessing and strengthening the capacity of the Mozambican forces, at a time when security continues to be a national priority.
