He invited Chinese businesses to build toll roads in Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p>He wanted Sino-Mozambican relations to shift their emphasis from the political to the economic. Currently, according to data from the Bank of Mozambique, referring to the third quarter of 2025, China is responsible for 1.5 per cent of Foreign Direct Investment in Mozambique, which puts it in sixth place in the list of investors.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, in the province of Qinghai, Chapo invited Chinese businesses to build roads in Mozambique. He suggested building toll roads on the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model. The Chinese company would build the road and operate it for 20 or 30 years, recovering its costs through toll gates. Such contracts would be renewable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur political and diplomatic relations are excellent\u201d, said Chapo, \u201cNow we want to open a new page in economic and commercial cooperation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He took the opportunity to thank President Xi for exempting from tariffs Mozambique and 52 other African countries, under an agreement which takes effect on 31 May.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mozambican President Daniel Francisco Chapo held talks in Beijing on Tuesday, and the two heads of state agreed to upgrade bilateral ties to a China-Mozambique community with a shared future in the new era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
