On August 10, 2011, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met with Mozambican President Armando Emilio Guebuza in Ziguangge, Zhongnanhai.

Wen said the current complex international political and economic situation has posed more challenges for African countries. "The Chinese government supports Mozambique's efforts to maintain national stability, develop its economy and eliminate poverty," Wen said. He added that the government will continue to increase assistance to Mozambique through bilateral channels as well as some international organizations such as the China-Africa Cooperation Forum and an economic and trade cooperation forum between China and Portuguese-speaking countries. China will increase assistance to Mozambique in agriculture, medical services, education and training in order to help the African nation improve its people's livelihoods and achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals.

Wen said China is willing to strengthen planning coordination with Mozambique and expand investment and financing cooperation in transportation, telecommunications, energy and mining on the basis of equality and reciprocity in a bid to promote diversification of bilateral economic and trade relations and sustainable development.

Guebuza thanked China for its valuable long-term assistance and spoke highly of the solid foundation of bilateral friendly cooperation. He said Mozambique is implementing new plans in national development and poverty reduction and hopes to learn from China's experience in this regard. He hoped the two countries will enhance economic, technological and humanities exchanges and push bilateral ties to a new level.

Minister of Commerce Chen Deming, Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun, Chinese Ambassador to Mozambique Huang Songfu and other officials attended the meeting.
