The Philippines government and Mozambique are looking to increase cooperation between the two countries.

The Philippines expressed interest in collaborating with Mozambican business delegations in order to improve cooperation at industrial and trade and the hydrocarbon sector.

The interest in expanded cooperation was expressed by the Mozambican Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Nyeleti Mondlane, after a meeting with her visiting Philippines counterpart, Jesus Yabe.

“The Philippines offered to make exchanges of trade delegations, to establish the foundations to cooperate at industrial and trade, agriculture and the hydrocarbon sector,” Mondlane said at a press briefing. She added “we’ve been talking about issues that concern our diplomatic cooperation and our goal is to create common platforms in order to interact.”

In turn, Yabe said he expect that relations between the two countries continue to grow, especially at this time. “We are also interested in cooperating for agriculture, education, economy,” he said.
