Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The US president, Joe Biden, has expressed his intention to deepen bilateral relations with Mozambique, in a congratulatory message addressed to the president of Mozambique to mark 48 years since the African country became independent from Portugal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming year I am hopeful that our partnership will deepen further, as will the friendship between our peoples, as we move forward in our shared vision of a peaceful, secure and prosperous world,\u201d Biden said, according to a statement from the office of Mozambique\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

According to the US head of state, as members of the UN Security Council, Mozambique (currently a non-permanent member of the council) and the US (a permanent member) have been working together to achieve global peace and protect common values, including sovereignty, freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we address regional and global challenges, including terrorism, climate change, and health insecurity,\u201d the statement quoted Biden as saying. \u201cWe also increase our levels of bilateral trade and investment to promote inclusive economic growth for our two countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mozambique on Sunday celebrated the 48th anniversary of the proclamation of independence in 1975 by then president, Samora Machel, following an armed liberation struggle against Portuguese colonial rule that had begun in 1964.<\/p>\n

The US had already marked the date on Saturday with a message from the office of Biden\u2019s secretary of state, Antony Blinken, who stressed the growth of relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI extend my congratulations to the people of Mozambique as you celebrate the anniversary of your country\u2019s independence,\u201d reads the note posted on the State Department\u2019s website. \u201cFor the past 48 years, our relationship has grown to reflect our shared commitment to achieving the sustainable peace and stability that all Mozambicans deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n
