TIL Desk/World/Maputo (Mozambique)-Amid a spurt in terror attacks in various countries, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said terrorism is the “gravest threat” to the world, “equally impacting” India and Mozambique which agreed to strengthen security and defence ties and bolster cooperation in food security.
After Mr. Modi’s wide-ranging talks with Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi here, the two countries signed three pacts, including a significant “long-term agreement” under which India will buy pulses from this African nation to meet its recurring shortfall and contain prices of this commodity.
Declaring India as a “trusted friend” and a “reliable partner” of Mozambique, the Prime Minister also announced that essential medicines, including those for treating AIDS, would be donated to this country as part of efforts to strengthen its public health system. India will also help build capacities of Mozambique’s security forces, Modi said with a vow to “walk every step” with this country on its path of development and progress.
