Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique is evaluating the possibility of negotiating the conversion of its debts to Russia into finance for development projects.<\/p>\n

The intention was expressed by the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, on Sunday, in the report of his working visit to the II Russia-Africa Summit in Saint Petersburg, and was one of the matters discussed in bilateral talks there.<\/p>\n

Without detailing exact figures, President Nyusi said that the amount owed was not suffocating, but recognized that it was significant for the national economy.<\/p>\n

Russia and Mozambique agree big debt-for-development swap<\/b><\/p>\n

While assessing cooperation relations between the two countries as positive, the head of state explained that, should the suggestion be taken up, priority in Russian investments would focus on the education, health, agriculture and tourism sectors, plus strategic infrastructure for the promotion of development.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s trip to Russia was also meant to reiterate, in a meeting with his counterpart, Vladimir Putin, his interest in building and modernising infrastructure that could accelerate economic growth.<\/p>\n

Since Mozambique has a coastline of around 2,700 kilometres, with ports established along its axis, the idea was to explore transport logistics, another sector in which Russia could participate.<\/p>\n

Nyusi said that the government was considering the possibility of extending investment to water supply projects and the construction of health units, within the scope of the presidential \u201cOne District, One Hospital\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n

Mozambique also intends to explore Russia\u2019s experience in hydropower production, as well as renewable sources and natural gas exploitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also suggested that Russia look at agriculture, in this specific case the production of wheat. We are seeking dynamism in tourism and infrastructure, too,\u201d Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

On his return to Mozambique on Sunday, the President recalled that, before leaving for Russia, he participated in the Summit on the Development of Human Capital in Africa in Tanzania, where the World Bank recognized the government\u2019s role in promoting the education of girls.<\/p>\n
