Research cooperation between Brazilian and Chinese enterprises can be expected to increase in the coming years as ties between the two countries strengthen.
Gong Tao’s remarks, made to Angolan President João Lourenço, appear to quash suggestions that Beijing is reducing the importance it places on ties with Luanda.
President João Lourenço’s presence at the opening of a new, Chinese-built water treatment facility highlights the value Luanda places on the relationship.
The facility, in northeastern Ceará state, is expected to begin operations in February 2025, with a generation capacity of 343 megawatts.
Tariffs will be lowered by as much as 98 percent on some products, according to Mozambqiue’s ambassador to China.
The government says the scheme is intended to boost tourism and business travel to the country, one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The new facility will be located in Chongoene and will handle shipments of so-called ‘heavy sands’ to China, the biggest market for Mozambique’s minerals.
China’s foreign ministry says visitors now only need to produce a negative rapid antigen test taken within 48 hours of arrival.
