Russia, Mozambique reaffirm defence cooperation

Russia and Mozambique reaffirmed their defence relations during a visit from the African country's foreign minister to Moscow. Maria Manuela Lucas on Tuesday expressed concern over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but praised the resilience of the Russian people. We have been following closely this situation that is not pleasant, the conflict with Ukraine. We have seen that Russia is a country that is resilient, its people are resilient. We would very much like for this matter to be resolved in a peaceful way. Minister Sergei has informed us of the several rounds of negotiations and we hope for their success. We wanted to try for the next round to be successful. Also to say that this conflict has an impact in the continent in terms of food security. Russia and Ukraine should hold another round of talks this week. Maria Manuela Lucas' visit to Moscow also allowed her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to proclaim his country's commitment to provide defence assistance to Mozambique. We have confirmed our readiness to consider all requests from our friends in Mozambique on issues related to the need to strengthen their defence capability and strengthen their potential in the anti-terrorist sphere. Unfortunately, such threats in Mozambique and in other African countries in general remain. Russia and Mozambique have intensified their military cooperation for several years. A 2020 German intelligence report found that Russia was planning to build a military base in the African country.
