In Algiers, Daniel Chapo, a prominent figure, has embarked on a four-day working visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between Mozambique and Algeria. This visit is in accordance with a presidential statement regarding the purpose of his trip.

During his stay, Chapo will participate in the 4th edition of the Intra-African Trade Fair, an event organised by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) with the aim of boosting trade and investment in Africa. The fair will run until the 10th of this month.

Chapo's primary goal in Algeria is to work on enhancing the air link between African countries. He believes that the improvement of these links would make African tourism, trade, and logistics more flexible. Such links, he stated, would enable Africans to reach neighboring countries without needing to travel to other continents.

The visit is also aimed at strengthening strategic partnerships in the domain of trade and investment. Chapo emphasized the need for these partnerships during his speech, stating that they are crucial for the development of both the continent and individual countries, particularly those in Africa.

However, the specific details of the strengthening of bilateral relations between Mozambique and Algeria during Chapo's visit are not provided. Similarly, the specific details of the strategic partnerships between Mozambique and other countries during Daniel Chapo's visit are not disclosed.

Chapo, who has been in Algiers since Wednesday, expressed his certainty that most people in the room had come to Algiers from other continents. He reiterated his belief that these improved air links are essential for African unity and progress.

During his stay, Chapo will also reaffirm Mozambique's commitment to continental economic integration. This commitment aligns with the aim of the Intra-African Trade Fair, which seeks to promote trade and investment within Africa, ultimately contributing to the economic growth and development of the continent.
