Mozambique: High Commissioner Presents Credentials to UK Monarch

Mozambique's new High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Albertina MacDonald, on 8 June presented her credentials to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in London. Speaking afterwards at a vin d'honneur, the High Commissioner lauded the long-standing bonds of cooperation, friendship, and mutual understanding between Mozambique and the United Kingdom. She noted that since Mozambican independence in 1975, "Mozambique has benefited greatly from the cooperation with the United Kingdom, both bilaterally and multilaterally, as well as in the context of the Commonwealth".

MacDonald added that "our bilateral cooperation involves several important social and economic areas with great impact on the lives of the Mozambican people, of which I can highlight agriculture and rural development; water and sanitation; health and food security, and clean energy. We are growing our trade and investment relations. We share good governance values and we cooperate on defence and security matters that are also of common interest".
