(SomaliNet) The foreign ministry said on Wednesday that Mozambican President Armando Guebuza is in Tanzania for a three-day visit aimed at cementing ties between the two African neighbours.
Guebuza, who arrived late Tuesday, is scheduled to open the 31st Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair later Wednesday, the ministry said in a statement.
Ties between the two nations have been close since Tanzania also offered shelter and training for Freedom for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) fighters during their struggle that brought independence from the Portuguese in 1975.
In addition, Tanzania sent troops in the 1980s to help its neighbour battle Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo) rebels, who were backed by South Africa\'s erstwhile apartheid regime. - Sapa-AFP
