 Maputo, August 14, Mana: President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on Wednesday toured Mozambican industrial area called Moz Park to appreciate trading activities being implemented by the Mozambican Government.

Speaking after touring Midal Cables International, President Chakwera said the tour was an eye opener and the trading industry in Malawi will benefit.

"The magnitude of manufacturing and exporting activities witnessed today are worth emulating to Malawi, I am impressed by how Midal Cables is conducting it's business," Chakwera said.

Chakwera said it is his vision to have a company that manufactures aluminium, alloy rod and wires the same way that Midal Mozambique is doing and exporting the cables worldwide.

The Moz Park is home to some of Africa’s key players within the manufacturing, industrial, import and export business.

 The park is organized as a combined industrial park and free-trade zone and it  accommodates over 35 companies employing more than 5,000 people.

Earlier, President Chakwera held bilateral talks with Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries and later Memorandums Of Understanding were signed to boost trade and improve the energy sector between the two countries.

The Moz Park is located in the Southern part of Mozambique, two kilometre away from the main highway and 20 km from the port.
