I am sure that we will continue to have more detailed deliberations on this matter during our Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Governments to be held in the Democratic Republic of Congo, next month\u201d, Chakwera said.<\/p>\n<p>The extension of SAMIM\u2019s mandate, he says, renews the determination to provide support to Mozambique to ensure sustainable development and the restoration of peace.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion, he thanked South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Troika body for their leadership in holding the Extraordinary Session whose agenda was the extension of SAMIM\u2019s mandate in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>The SAMIM military operation was approved in June 2021 during an Extraordinary Summit of SADC Heads of State and Government, held in Maputo. The SAMIM mandate was initially scheduled to end this Friday, but due to continued terrorist attacks, its stay was extended again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
