United States and Mozambique establish Economic and Commercial Bilateral Working Group

The United States and the Government of Mozambique have agreed to establish an Economic and Commercial Bilateral Working Group to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the two countries. The establishment of the Working Group follows the successful visit of Mozambican President Daniel Chapo to the United States in October 2025, which reaffirmed the mutual commitment of both governments to deepen bilateral engagement and expand opportunities for trade, investment, and sustainable economic growth. This announcement also comes on the heels of a commercial diplomacy visit to Maputo by Sarah Troutman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, from February 25 to March 1, underscoring the mutual commitment to high-level commercial engagement between the United States and Mozambique.

The Economic and Commercial Bilateral Working Group will serve as a regular forum to identify business enabling environment challenges and develop practical solutions to overcome these challenges and improve U.S. trade and investment. The goal of the Working Group is to foster a more transparent, predictable, and business-enabling environment that benefits both Mozambican and American companies.

Embassy in Maputo and the Government of Mozambique, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Planning and Development, Ministry of Transport and Logistics, and the Tax Authority. The United States and Mozambique look forward to convening the Working Group on a regular basis and to advancing tangible outcomes that support inclusive economic growth, strengthen commercial ties, and reinforce the long-standing partnership between the two countries.
