Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Mozambican Prime Minister Maria Benvinda Delfina Levi in Beijing on Tuesday, highlighting strengthened cooperation between China and the African nation during the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.
The leaders discussed economic partnerships, infrastructure development under China's Belt and Road Initiative, and women's empowerment programs. Xi emphasized China's commitment to supporting Mozambique's agricultural modernization and energy security, while Levi praised Chinese investments in her country's transportation networks.
This meeting coincides with Mozambique's growing role in regional trade corridors connecting southern Africa to Indian Ocean ports. Analysts suggest the talks may pave the way for new collaboration in renewable energy projects and digital infrastructure development.
The dialogue also addressed cultural exchanges, with both leaders endorsing educational partnerships between Chinese universities and Mozambique's Eduardo Mondlane University. The discussions concluded with mutual commitments to enhance South-South cooperation and multilateral coordination in international forums.
