Figures released during the visit indicate that Kenyan investment in Mozambique now exceeds US$70 million, signalling a growth trajectory in economic relations between the two countries.

The participation in the Kenya Investment Conference aims to attract capital, technology and strategic partnerships, against a backdrop of deepening bilateral cooperation.

The President of the Republic, Daniel Chapo, is in Kenya, where he is taking part in the 4th Investment Conference, on a visit that reinforces the central role of economic diplomacy in Mozambique’s foreign policy agenda.

The event brings together international investors, policy-makers and business leaders, providing a prime platform for promoting the country’s economic potential and mobilising foreign investment.

Mozambique’s presence at the conference in Nairobi also reflects a broader strategy of positioning itself alongside emerging African economies, given that Kenya has the largest economy in East Africa, constituting a major hub for capital, innovation and business dynamism, with a strong presence in sectors such as banking, telecommunications and technology.

In this context, the presidential visit seeks not only to attract investment, but also to promote integration into regional value chains and facilitate access to new sources of financing and know-how.

During the visit, the President of the Republic will hold meetings with his Kenyan counterpart, William Ruto, as well as with representatives of the private sector.

The agenda includes an assessment of the current state of bilateral cooperation and the identification of new areas for collaboration, with a focus on the implementation of specific projects.

There are also plans to engage the Kenyan business community to explore investment opportunities in Mozambique, including access to projects that are already structured and available.

The visit to Kenya highlights a clear strategic direction:

to position Mozambique as an attractive destination for investment, against a backdrop of growing competition for capital on the African continent.

The commitment to economic diplomacy reflects the recognition that mobilising foreign investment will be crucial to accelerating industrialisation, diversifying the economy and promoting sustainable growth.
