The barge, which runs between Mozambique and Tanzania on the Rovuma River, will resume running in a few days, after three years out of service due to a breakdown.

To this end, a consultation meeting involving the governments of Mtwara and Cabo Delgado, the latter represented by the Mozambican ambassador to Tanzania, Ricardo Mtumbuida, is taking place today in Mtwara.

"The barge connects Kilambo, here in Mtwara and Namoto, in Palma and as I was saying, the meeting is to discuss the movement of people and goods, connecting the border towns," said the Mozambican diplomat, quoted by the Radio Mozambique.
