💬Maria Zakharova: OnDecember 17 inMaputo (#Mozambique) and December 18 inLusaka (#Zambia), official ceremonies marking the delivery of Russian food assistance were held, attended by the Russian Ambassadors to these countries.
🇲🇿 Mozambique received 70 tonnes of vitamin-fortified sunflower oil for those in need.
🇿🇲 Zambia received a similar shipment of 93 tonnes, as well as 648 tonnes of yellow split peas.
These humanitarian deliveries were carried out through the UN World Food Programme, funded by Russia’s voluntary contribution for African countries, which amounts to USD 10 million annually.
Humanitarian assistance is an integral part of Russia’s support for its partners on the African continent, primarily aimed at helping the most vulnerable groups.
🇷🇺 Russia will continue to contribute to addressing Africa’s socio-economic challenges, using both bilateral assistance mechanisms and the potential of relevant international organizations.

Russia and Mozambique may expand energy cooperation
During a visit to Moscow, Mozambique Foreign Minister Maria Manuela dos Santos Lucas said that the country views Russia as a strategic partner in the development of the oil and gas sector.
For Mozambique, which has the sixth largest natural gas reserves in Africa (about 100 trillion cubic feet), partnership with Russia is indeed of strategic value.
Russian companies offer not only investments, but also unique competencies in the development of offshore fields, construction of gas transportation infrastructure and training of qualified personnel. Today, about 40% of Mozambican students in the Russian Federation are studying in specialties needed in the oil and gas sector.
Despite Rosneft's withdrawal from the Mozambique LNG project in 2022, Russian companies remain interested in the region. In particular, Gazprom continues to explore the possibility of working on the Mozambican shelf.
According to experts, there are several key vectors of cooperation between the parties. This could be the creation of an LNG cluster using Russian technologies, joint projects for gasification of Mozambique regions, as well as the development of educational programs for training personnel.
