In the field of education, minister Klemens and the High Commissioner of Mozambique in the United Kingdom, Filipe Chidumo, interacted with Mozambican students learning different specialties on oil and gas.
The minister called on Aberdeen Lord Provost George Adam to strengthen partnership and co-operation between the municipalities of Aberdeen and Pemba.
In London, minister Klemens was welcomed by the FCO Minister for Africa, Tobias Ellwood, and also met Minister of State for Trade and Investment Greg Hands, and the Prime Minister’s Commercial Envoy to Mozambique, Richard Benyon.
The programme closed with meetings with international companies in the energy sector and a speech by the minister, organised by Chatham House - Royal Institute for International Affairs. The minister spoke about Mozambique’s context and interacted with British companies and experts.
