Brazil asked Mozambique to join a big meeting about stopping hunger next May. Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira called Maria Manuela Lucas on Tuesday to talk about it. He hopes she will bring Mozambique to the Brazil-Africa food talk happening May 20-22 in the Brazilian capital. This meeting comes after world leaders started a team to fight hunger last November at the G20 meeting in Rio. Brazil plans to host many African farm leaders for the first major gathering of this new hunger-fighting group.
Vieira said nice things about how Mozambique handles its problems at home. He liked the recent meeting between President Daniel Chapo and Venâncio Mondlane, who ran against him. Mondlane led many street protests after the October voting results. The two men talked, and Mondlane agreed to stop the protests. Their meeting helped create peace between different sides in Mozambican politics. They all decided to make changes to their laws and how elections work.
The Brazilian leader made his call from the foreign office building called Itamaraty. He focused mainly on asking Mozambique to help with farm growing plans. Both countries want to make more food for hungry people across Africa. The May meeting will bring together many countries looking for ways to grow more crops. Brazil hopes Mozambique will share ideas about what works best in African farming. Ministers from all over Africa will meet with Brazilian experts to create better farming plans.
President Chapo has worked hard to calm tensions after the last election. He talked with many political groups and regular citizens about improving the country. These talks led to new agreements that everyone supported. The changes will make voting more fair and courts more balanced. Venâncio Mondlane stopped asking people to march in the streets because he saw real progress happening. Brazil noticed these positive steps toward peace.
The Global Alliance against Hunger started just months ago but already plans big actions. Brazil leads this effort because it knows much about growing food in hot places. Mozambique faces similar growing challenges with its weather and soil. Both countries speak Portuguese, which makes working together easier. The May meeting will focus on practical ways to grow more food with less water and money. Brazil hopes Mozambique brings its best farm experts to share what they know about African growing conditions.
