After the delegation level talks between Modi and Zuma, both sides will issue press statements, which will be followed by an official lunch banquet hosted by President Zuma.
Underlining that India and Mozambique “face similar challenges” as the developing countries, Mr. Modi told Nyusi: “We will be a trusted friend in your development and a reliable partner in ensuring a bright and secure future for our people”.
Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, said one of the key objectives of Modi’s visit would be to enhance commercial and business relations between the two countries and to promote contact between each other’s private sectors.
The Prime Minister also mentioned the 20,000 Mozambican citizens of Indian origin and described them as “a living bridge between our economies and our societies”.
“Always a delight to meet and interact with the Indian community”, tweeted the Prime minister after the interaction.
According to the agreement on pulses, India will encourage greater production of pulses in Mozambique with an assurance that it will be purchased by India at a mutually-agreed price. PM Modi is on a four-nation tour to Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya. The engineers in question have been trained to fabricate, install, use, fix and maintain solar lanterns and household solar lighting systems in their villages.
The two leaders are also expected to address a meeting of the joint South Africa-India business forum and the South Africa India CEO (chief executive officers) forum.
