Fumio Kishida, the prime minister of Japan, says his nation is prepared to help Mozambique combat terrorism.
The Japanese prime minister is in Mozambique as part of a six-day trip that also took him to Ghana, Kenya, and Egypt.
He claimed that Japan was interested in funding the war against terrorism in the northern Cabo Delgado province, ensuring the safety of operations for Japanese firms that are members of the consortiums exploiting natural gas in the Rovuma basin.
An Islamic extremist insurrection has been encircling the province in the north for years.
In order to achieve tangible outcomes in their bilateral cooperation, Mr. Kishida and Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi discussed the necessity for Japanese private investment in "structural areas" of the economy.
