The President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi, reiterated last Thursday in Botswana, that begins next October the export of liquefied natural gas from the Rovuma basin, for several countries in the world.

Filipe Nyusi was speaking during the Forum on Trade and Investment Issues between Mozambique and Botswana.

According to Rádio Moçambique, the Mozambican statesman said that this makes Mozambique a country with enormous potential in the global energy market.

The production and export of the gas will be done through the Coral Sul floating platform, anchored off the Rovuma Basin in Cabo Delgado.

Galp, South Korea's Kogás, and the National Hydrocarbons Company hold stakes in the project, which is expected to produce three point four million tons of liquefied natural gas per year.

At the meeting Filipe Nyusi invited Botswana businessmen to invest in Mozambique, in different areas.

During the Mozambique-Botswana Forum on trade and investment issues, several agreements were signed between the Chambers of Commerce of the two countries, with emphasis on the areas of buying and selling energy, gas and oil, mining, agribusiness, among others.

Mozambique took representatives from twenty-four companies to the Mozambique-Botswana Trade and Investment Issues Forum.
