Mozambique: UN chief welcomes dialogue between President and opposition leader
In a statement released late on Mondayevening, the UN Spokesperson explained that Ban had voiced hope that the meetings would “pave the way for the peaceful resolution of outstanding issues” in respect of the constitutional framework and the work of the National Assembly.
The meetings between Nyusi and Dhlakama – held in the capital of Maputo from 7 to 9 February – are, reportedly, the first face-to-face encounters between the two since RENAMO initiated a boycott of the Mozambique Parliament, preventing its 89 deputies to attend the opening session of the National Assembly.
“The Secretary-General reiterates the commitment of the United Nations to support Mozambique as it endeavours to promote development, strong democratic institutions as well as sustainable peace and stability,” the statement added.
