Mozambican Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane has called for speedy implementation of measures that may contribute to increasing national industrial production, favouring the use of local raw materials.
Maleiane, who was speaking on Saturday, in Aburi Hills, in Ghana, on the occasion of the Dialogues for Prosperity in Africa 2024, said that priority must also go to increasing trade, particularly with African countries.
Addressing the topics “Providing Prosperity in Africa: Producing, Adding Value and Developing Trade”, Maleiane said he believed that “with this approach, we will be contributing to the consolidation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, and to achieving the objectives of the African Agenda 2063.”
“We believe that in order to promote and strengthen economic and trade relations we must ensure an increasingly vibrant involvement of the business sector and national, regional and international financial institutions”, he said.
“This will allow us to increase investment in technologies and innovation, thus creating solid and secure foundations for increased production, and industrialization by adding value to our raw materials”, he added.
According to the Prime Minister, the active involvement of the business sector, as a strategic partner, will also “allow us to promote the development of logistical infrastructures that are essential for facilitating and improving trade and the movement of people and goods in our countries.”
For Mozambique, Maleiane explained, agriculture is in itself a factor of socio-economic inclusion, since it is a sector that employs much of the Mozambican population and is also the main driver of the diversification and industrialization of the economy.
He believed that Mozambican industrialization relies on the active involvement and participation of the private sector, especially micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as the support of national, regional, continental and international financial institutions.
