Mozambique seeks Portugal's help for Covid-19 vaccine

Date: Nov 26, 2020

Mozambique has asked its former coloniser, Portugal, to guarantee immediate access to the Covid-19 vaccine as soon as it becomes available on the world market.

President Filipe Nyusi made the request to Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa on Tuesday through a phone conversation.

Costa agreed, according to a press release from the Mozambican presidency.

“The Portuguese prime minister made his country available to support Mozambique in this universal battle, both within the European Union and in bilateral cooperation,” said the statement.

Costa also encouraged  Nyusi to continue with the measures put in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
