Belem, Brazil – Mozambican President Daniel Chapo has called on Mozambican students based in Brazil to serve as ambassadors for their country and use their education to contribute to Mozambique’s development.
Speaking in Belem, where he attended the United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP30), Chapo urged the students to represent Mozambique with pride and commitment. He said the country needed skilled and creative young people to drive innovation and help build a fairer and more sustainable society.
Chapo assured the students that Mozambique was currently enjoying political, economic and social stability, which had made it possible for major natural gas projects in Cabo Delgado to resume after years of disruption caused by insurgent attacks.
He pointed to the recent decision by French oil giant TotalEnergies to lift the state of force majeure, imposed after the 2021 Palma attack, as evidence of renewed investor confidence. He also mentioned the “Political Commitment to Inclusive National Dialogue” signed in March with nine political parties, describing it as part of efforts to maintain national unity and stability.
Chapo noted signs of economic recovery, saying the government had worked tirelessly since 2022 to rebuild the economy. He added that the resumption of major gas projects would play a crucial role in Mozambique’s development.
While acknowledging that sporadic attacks by Islamist militants continue in parts of Cabo Delgado, the president said the situation was under control and that many displaced citizens were returning home.
