The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced the opening of an embassy in Maputo, considering this act a “new page” in relations with Mozambique.
“A new page and new prospects are opening in relations between the two countries,” said Ukraine’s Special Representative for the Middle East and Africa Maxim Subh after an audience on Monday in Maputo with Mozambique’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Veronica. Makamo.
Subh said that the two countries have created a solid foundation for the development of cooperation in various fields.
Mozambique abstained from voting on several UN resolutions condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and advocating a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The first resolution condemned Russia for the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine due to the war, another suspended Moscow from participating in the Human Rights Council, and the third condemned Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territories, increasing Moscow’s isolation on the international stage.
In October 2022, Ukraine’s foreign minister promised to visit Mozambique to have an “honest conversation” about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as part of his tour of the continent to drum up support.
“My journey through African countries will continue, and Mozambique is among the countries that we will visit to have a truly honest conversation,” said Dmitry Kuleba, answering a question asked by Lusa during a virtual meeting with several journalists from different African countries .
The government of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) maintains a traditional relationship with Russia that dates back to when the African country’s liberation movement received military support from the former communist bloc in the colonial war.
