Armando Guebuza, the President of Mozambique, stressed the importance of his country’s educational links with Australia on a visit to the University of Sydney on Wednesday 13 March 2013.

The President was introduced to some of the Mozambican students who are studying in Australia on Australia Award scholarships. There are 33 Australia Award students from Mozambique studying in Australia, and students from Queensland, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide travelled to Sydney to meet the President.

Guebuza said he would like to see more Mozambican students studying in Australia. “Since independence we have worked closely together and Australia has shown that it understands our needs and objectives,” he said. “As time passes we will see many more Mozambicans coming to Australia and may more Australians going to Mozambique to work.”
