FRELIMO Secretary General Chakil Aboobacar, who assumed office in February this year, was in Harare on Saturday for an official engagement with Mozambican nationals and supporters of the Mozambican ruling party based in Zimbabwe.
The meeting, held at the ZANU-PF Headquarters, marked Aboobacar's first official interaction with the diaspora community since taking over the party's leadership role. During the event, the FRELIMO official reaffirmed the party's commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with Zimbabwe's ruling party, ZANU-PF, with renewed emphasis on political and economic collaboration between the two neighbouring countries.
"I came here so that we know each other and chart the way forward. I want to thank each and every one of you for the good work you are doing in Zimbabwe. I want to thank the ZANU-PF party for the continued support," said Aboobacar.
"The main reason for coming to Zimbabwe is to cement bilateral relations between Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and we pledge to continue along this trajectory at the political and economic levels."
The visit underscored the enduring historical camaraderie between FRELIMO and ZANU-PF, which dates back to the liberation struggle against colonialism in Southern Africa. The two movements have long maintained a close relationship built on shared revolutionary values and mutual support.
Chairman of FRELIMO in Zimbabwe, Araujo Tomas Mafupe, emphasized the depth of this alliance, describing it as a bond that transcends ordinary diplomacy.
"As ZANU-PF and FRELIMO, we are not just neighbours but blood brothers. Our relationship dates back to the liberation struggle, and our bond is unbreakable," said Mafupe.
The visit also served to engage the Mozambican diaspora community in Zimbabwe, many of whom are actively involved in economic activities and maintain strong links with their homeland. Aboobacar acknowledged their contributions and encouraged continued unity and support for national development.
The two countries continue to enjoy cordial bilateral relations spanning key sectors such as security cooperation, trade, energy development, and infrastructure projects, grounded in mutual respect and historical solidarity.
Saturday's meeting reinforced the enduring partnership between FRELIMO and ZANU-PF as both parties look to deepen integration efforts and collaborate on strategic regional objectives.
