Germany actively supports signing of peace process in Mozambique

This peace agreement now offers an opportunity to put an end to this violent conflict once and for all.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas issued the following statement (6 August) on the signing of a peace agreement in Mozambique:

"I am most delighted that the government and opposition in Mozambique have succeeded in signing a peace agreement today. For 15 years, a bloody civil war raged in Mozambique the impacts of which continue to be felt by the people in the country to this day. This peace agreement now offers an opportunity to put an end to this violent conflict once and for all.

It is vital that the peace agreement now is put into practice. I encourage all those involved to continue moving forward resolutely on the path towards strengthening democracy and peace. Germany has actively supported the peace process for some time now. We will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mozambique as it takes the next steps".
