Portuguese president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, wrapped up a three-day trip to Mozambique on Sunday with a visit to two units of the European Union training mission in the country.
During the visit, Rebelo de Sousa said that resolving the conflict in Cabo Delgado, in the north of Mozambique, remained a priority for Portugal and the European Union.
Rebelo de Sousa stressed the need for Mozambique to guarantee the security of the populations and the defeat of terrorism.
“That victory is, on the one hand, a military victory, but it is also an economic victory, a social victory, a human victory. Total victory means allowing populations to develop their activity in a normal way, without being restricted by the existence of terrorism. “, said Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
