Mozambican President Daniel Chapo is making his first state visit to China since taking office in 2025, touring industrial facilities in Changsha (the capital of Hunan Province) to explore how Chinese manufacturing expertise could be replicated at home. Chapo observed advanced production lines in electricity, heavy machinery, and agricultural processing, stressing his country's need for technology transfer to modernise its largely rural, agriculture-dependent economy. The visit, hosted by President Xi Jinping, culminated in bilateral agreements covering green energy and biomedicine, with both sides framing the partnership as South-South cooperation aligned with their respective national development strategies.
