The Mozambican government aims to develop a domestic defense industry through knowledge transfer from Türkiye, according to the country's National Defense Minister, Cristóvão Chume. He explained that this investment would extend beyond military products to provide solutions for medicine, general industry, and critical infrastructure security.
Minister Chume outlined initial steps for this initiative, stating that Mozambique must begin producing its own ammunition, repairing weapons, and manufacturing weapons, drones, and personal protective equipment. He also emphasized the need for internal food production to supply security forces. The effort was presented as creating partnership and business opportunities for Mozambican investors with Turkish counterparts in the defense sector.
