Lusa - Business News - Mozambique: Galp congratulates Filipe Nyusi on re-election![]()
Maputo, Nov. 13, 2019 (Lusa) - The president of Galp, Carlos Gomes da Silva, congratulated the Mozambican head of state, Filipe Nyusi, for his re-election in the 15 October elections in Mozambique, on Wednesday. "His courage and leadership capacity have allowed Mozambique to develop and lead opportunities in projects of global dimension that have greatly contributed and will continue to contribute to strengthening the country's position," reads the document distributed to the press on Wednesday. According to Galp's president, Mozambique remains among the main cooperation partners of Portuguese companies, at a time when the African country is entering an important phase with natural gas exploration projects. "It will, therefore, be the decade of Mozambique," the president of Galp said, adding that the main challenge is to ensure that the investments made in natural gas projects in the Rovuma Basin are carried out according to plans and schedules of agreements. Galp thus becomes the second oil company to congratulate the Mozambican head of state for his re-election, after the North American Exxon Mobil. Galp is part of the consortium that wants to explore natural gas in Area 4, northern Mozambique, and which is led by Eni and Exxon Mobil, both with joint participation of 70%. Galp has a 10% stake in the consortium, as well as Mozambican state company ENH and Kogas, from South Korea. In 2017, Galp's turnover in Mozambique in the area of fuel distribution was €128 million, increasing to €163 million in 2018. EYAC/IMYN // AYLS Lusa Agency : LUSA Date : 2019-11-14 08:55:40
