About the Ambassador
The EU has a longstanding partnership with Mozambique within the framework of the Samoa Agreement. This partnership is based on shared priorities on sustainable development, peace and security, democracy, the rule of law and human rights. It also supports regional priorities, including economic integration, while addressing global challenges such as climate change and terrorism.

Message from the EU Ambassador to Mozambique
Dear friend,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Mozambique. I am honoured to take up my duties as EU Ambassador to Mozambique and eager to contribute to our longstanding partnership.
After many years working on EU foreign affairs across Africa, Asia and Latin America, I look forward to bringing this experience to Mozambique and, above all, to listening, learning and engaging with the many partners who help make our relationship so dynamic.
The EU and Mozambique share a strong and multifaceted partnership. As we look ahead, I am committed to working closely with Mozambican institutions, as well as with our European and international partners, to deepen this relationship and translate shared priorities into opportunities and results.
Our cooperation for the 2021 - 2027 cooperation cycle is centred on three priorities: Growing Green, Growing Youth, and Governance, Peace and a Just Society. These reflect our common ambition for a greener, more inclusive and more resilient Mozambique, with focus on clean energy, sustainable economic opportunities, education and skills, youth and women’s empowerment, good governance, human rights and social inclusion.
Peace and security are also at the heart of our partnership. The EU remains committed to supporting efforts to address security challenges in Cabo Delgado and northern Mozambique, and to contributing to lasting peace and stability. Through EUMAM MOZ, we support the Mozambican Defence Armed Forces in strengthening their capabilities and operational readiness, with international humanitarian law and human rights remain at the core of this engagement.
Another key dimension of our partnership is Global Gateway, through which the EU and its Member States, working together as #TeamEurope, support investments in clean energy, digital connectivity, education and skills, and sustainable infrastructure. Our aim is to create lasting benefits for people and communities while opening new opportunities for growth and prosperity.
I invite you to follow our work and stay tuned to our activities and initiatives as we continue building an ever-closer EU-Mozambique relationship.
