Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican head of state, Filipe Nyusi, is on a \u201cworking visit\u201d to the Russian Federation from Thursday until Saturday, at the invitation of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, the Presidency of the Republic of Mozambique confirmed in a statement.<\/p>\n

During the visit, the Mozambican president will participate in the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit, which will take place in St. Petersburg, under the motto \u201cIn favour of Peace, Security and Development\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Nyusi\u2019s participation in this summit is aimed at strengthening relations of friendship, solidarity and cooperation between Russia and the African continent in various areas of mutual interest, as well as at the bilateral level,\u201d according to the Presidency statement.<\/p>\n

Kremlin sources indicated that a meeting between the Russian and Mozambican heads of state is planned on the sidelines of this summit.<\/p>\n

Lusa reported on Wednesday that the Mozambican president was one of the heads of state attending the Russia-Africa summit. Earlier, Mozambican analysts considered that the meeting between the presidents of Mozambique and Russia will serve to reaffirm the country\u2019s neutrality in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, in addition to strengthening bilateral cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is a meeting that aims to strengthen the impartiality of the participating countries in relation to the conflict with Ukraine,\u201d Mohamed Yassin, a Mozambican analyst, told Lusa.<\/p>\n

The Presidents of Mozambique, Comoros, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Eritrea and Uganda will meet today with Russian head of state Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit, which runs until Friday in St Petersburg, the Russian press announced.<\/p>\n

Calton Cadeado, a Mozambican academic, considered that Nyusi\u2019s trip to meet Putin has to do with the historical relations between the two countries, noting that Mozambique \u201cconfirmed its presence at the highest level a long time ago\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMozambique is going to reaffirm the historical ties of cooperation with Russia, but not to say that it supports the invasion of Ukraine, not least because it has already stated its position in the United Nations Security Council,\u201d the analyst said.<\/p>\n

Maputo abstained in all UN votes on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, advocating a peaceful resolution of the conflict.<\/p>\n

For Calton Cadeado, Russia and the West may interpret Mozambique\u2019s neutrality as \u201cimplicit support\u201d for Putin, but, he said, the country is \u201cresponsible for what it does and says\u201d and not for what \u201cothers interpret\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo, the party in power since independence) was an ally of Moscow during the time of the former USSR, receiving military support during the fight against Portuguese colonialism and afterwards during the civil war and economic aid after independence in 1975.<\/p>\n

Mr Cadeado also said that holding the summit with Africa is a way for Russia to show the world that it is not isolated.<\/p>\n

The Russian president will welcome representatives of 49 of Africa\u2019s 54 countries, including 17 heads of state, to the summit after criticising what he called \u201cunprecedented pressure\u201d from the United States and France for African countries not to participate.<\/p>\n

The second summit is expected to see Russia and African countries sign an \u201caction plan until 2026\u201d and a series of bilateral documents, as the Kremlin announced, trying to move the relationship beyond defence and arms deals, which have mostly summed up Moscow\u2019s relationship with Africa to date.<\/p>\n

However, for Moscow, the most important thing, according to international analysts heard by Lusa, is to show an understanding with African states, despite the conflict in Ukraine, which some have condemned at the UN, and the end of the grain agreement.<\/p>\n
