The Mozambican President’s Visit to China Will Promote the Deep Development of the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Partnership Between China and Mozambique, said Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Tuesday.
At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, the President of the Republic of Mozambique, Daniel Francisco Chapo, will pay a state visit to China from April 16 to 22. Asked to present the arrangements for President Chapo’s visit, the spokesperson noted that this would be his first trip to China since taking office.
According to Guo, President Xi Jinping will host a welcoming ceremony and banquet in honor of President Chapo, and the two leaders will hold talks. Premier Li Qiang and Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, will also meet separately with President Chapo, who will additionally visit the provinces of Hunan and Qinghai.
Highlighting the long‑standing friendship between China and Mozambique, Guo stated that over the more than fifty years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Sino‑Mozambican ties have continued to grow stronger despite changes in the international context. “Today, mutual political trust between the two countries is deepening, resulting in fruitful cooperation across various fields and close collaboration on international and regional issues,” he added.
This visit is also expected to contribute to building a resilient China‑Africa community with a shared future in the new era, as well as strengthening solidarity and cooperation within the Global South, Guo said.
