The Royal Thai Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique, will begin operations to serve Thai nationals residing in Mozambique from September 2016 onwards, says MFA official.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Department of Information Deputy Director-General Russ Jalichandra has revealed the Royal Thai Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique will be providing full services to Thai nationals in Mozambique from September 2016 onwards.

As he is expected to work as the first Thai ambassador to Mozambique, the director-general's goal is to develop trade and investment between the two nations in the fields of energy, fisheries, and tourism, as private companies from Thailand are increasingly showing interest of investing in Mozambique.

Thailand will be holding its first ever trade show in Mozambique this August as part of the biggest and oldest trade show in Southern Africa. Interested Thai companies are encouraged to attend this trade show by contacting the MFA’s Department of South Asian, Middle East and African Affairs.
