20 January 2012Maputo — A delegation of 11 businessmen from the Turkish province of Esparta have been in Mozambique since Wednesday seeking business opportunities.
The mission consists of representatives of Turkish companies in the areas of construction, textiles, precious stones and furniture, among others. On Thursday the mission participated in a business meeting organised by the Mozambique-Turkey Chamber of Commerce which has the Confederation of Mozambican Business Associations (CTA) as a strategic partner.
At the meeting's opening session, the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Kenneth Marizane, said that Mozambique has attempted to establish a legal framework that improves the business environment and gives the country an attractive investment climate.
"The Mozambican government has approved instruments that seek to guarantee the promotion of investments in strategic sectors such as agriculture, trade, industry, services, tourism, fisheries, mineral resources, construction and energy which have a significant impact on the development of the national economy", he said.
He hoped that "through dialogue with our business people, we can celebrate partnerships, negotiation and projects that increase the business cooperation between Mozambique and Turkey".
CTA representative Leticia Klemens, stressed the role of the CTA as a channel for dialogue between the government and the Mozambican private sector, and as a lobbyist for the interests of private business.
"The environment for the generation of new businesses is based on the profound political and legislative reforms under way, which provides an excellent business environment, resulting from the dynamic of our partnership with the government", she said.
For his part, Ahmet Tiras, the chairperson of the Mozambique-Turkey Chamber of Commerce, said that the meeting will allow the two groups of business people to seal business partnerships.
