Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The first deputy speaker of Ukraine\u2019s parliament, Oleksandr Korniyenko, is this week visiting Maputo to ask for Mozambique\u2019s support in the war against Russia, on which the African country Mozambique has so far taken a neutral stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, two days ago, once again, Mozambique did not join\u201d the countries that condemned Russia at the General Assembly of the United Nations, Korniyenko noted in a written response to questions posed by Lusa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have noted Mozambique\u2019s consistent position\u201d of \u201cnot voting against resolutions on Ukraine\u201d since 2014, abstaining or not participating in votes, he said, adding that now he is asking directly for votes in support of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring all my meetings in Maputo, I will call on my interlocutors to support Ukrainian initiatives aimed at countering Russian aggression, at the United Nations, in its Security Council, as well as in other international organisations,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will continue to need the maximum possible assistance from partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

These include those \u201cfrom the African region and especially from Mozambique, which has been elected as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the period 2023-2024,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The programe of Korniyenko\u2019s visit to Maputo has not been made public.<\/p>\n

The visit comes after Ukraine\u2019s minister of foreign affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, last week began a tour of African countries that was on Monday interrupted due to the intensifying war back home.<\/p>\n

In his written replies to Lusa, Korniyenko noted that an \u201cimportant role in the development of relations between Ukraine and African countries belongs to inter-parliamentary relations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why I am here,\u201d he stressed. \u201cWe have a lot to talk about with Mozambique.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that bilateral relations dates back many years old, with Ukraine supporting Mozambique in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, during the civil war, Ukraine [then part of the Soviet Union] provided assistance to Mozambique, when many of its soldiers were educated in Ukrainian universities or trained under the leadership of instructors\u201d from that country, he recalled.<\/p>\n

Current ties with Mozambique go well beyond the 50 or so Ukraine nationals living in the country today, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a bank director and a university professor among Ukrainians in Mozambique [but] there are also Ukrainians of spirit, that is, Mozambicans who once graduated from universities\u201d in Ukraine and today \u201cwork in the government and represent the ruling party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mozambique was among the countries that have abstained on the three resolutions that have gone to a vote in the UN General Assembly since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.<\/p>\n

The first resolution condemned Russia for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine due to the war, another served to suspend Moscow from the UN Human Rights Council and the third, which went to a vote on Wednesday, condemned Russia\u2019s recent annexation of Ukrainian territories, reinforcing Moscow\u2019s isolation on the international scene.<\/p>\n
