Mozambique hopes for more Kenyan imports

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has promised to enhance trade with Kenya through the port of Mombasa.

President Nyusi, who toured the port on Saturday (Nov. 24), said his country will soon increase the importation of coal and other minerals from Kenya.

Mr Nyusi visited the port with Deputy President William Ruto, Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia and his Foreign Affairs counterpart Monica Juma.

“We tried last year, when we brought in coal, and since we have seen the extension of the port and its capacity, we will from January be importing minerals fluently,” said President Nyusi.

Mr Ruto and Mr Nyusi visited the second container terminal, which was constructed as part of the port’s expansion to a trade gateway to East Africa.

President Nyusi noted that the port’s capacity guarantees good business with Kenya.

“We are happy to see that the cargo traffic is going up. More vessels are coming in … that is a good sign. We have talked to the management of our port and Kenya’s on how we can continue to benefit from the facilities,” he said.
