Investments to Speed Up Cooperation With Tanzania

Mozambican President Armando Guebuza said in Dar es Salaam on Thursday that there is huge potential for further investments between Mozambique and Tanzania, which will speed up existing cooperation and strengthen ties of friendship between the two countries.

Speaking to reporters at the end of a three day visit to Tanzania, Guebuza said that the bridge now under construction over the Rovuma river, that marks the border between Mozambique and Tanzania, and the transport corridor based on the Tanzanian port of Mtwara, will bring further development for the benefit of the people in both countries.

On the talks he held with his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Kikwete, Guebuza, cited in Friday's issue of the Maputo "Noticias", said that the spirit of the discussion was to strengthen the existing good relationship between the two countries, and review cooperation opportunities.

"Together we fought and together we must prosper today", Guebuza told a largely Tanzanian audience, during the ceremony to inaugurate the 31st edition of the Dar-es-Salaam International Trade Fair on Wednesday.

During his visit, Guebuza also met with the Tanzanian veterans who supported Mozambique's liberation struggle during the 1960s and 1970s. He said that Mozambique will continue counting on their experience to face the new challenges.

Mozambique's High Commissioner in Tanzania, Zacarias Kupela, told reporters that Guebuza and Kikwete had agreed that Frelimo first training camp, at Kongwa in southern Tannzania, deserves a special treatment, and should be turned into a historic museum.
