Mozambican President, Daniel Chapo, has proposed a joint energy project to help mitigate Zambia’s power shortages, which have been exacerbated by intermittent droughts affecting electricity generation.
According to a statement issued on Friday by Clayson Hamasaka, State House Chief Communications Specialist, President Chapo made the proposal during a meeting with President Hakainde Hichilema in Windhoek, Namibia.
The meeting, held on the sidelines of Namibia’s presidential inauguration, aimed to strengthen bilateral ties between Zambia and Mozambique.
The two leaders explored opportunities for collaboration in energy, agriculture, tourism, infrastructure, and trade to drive economic growth.

President Hichilema congratulated President Chapo on his recent election victory and extended best wishes for peace and prosperity in Mozambique.
“We have agreed to work together to consolidate and raise the economic performance of our countries for the benefit of our people,” Hichilema said, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation.
He further underscored the need for stability in fostering sustainable development, stating, “Instability anywhere is a threat to progress everywhere.”
The leaders were among several African Heads of State and Government attending the inauguration of Namibia’s first female President, Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, an event that also marked the country’s 35th independence anniversary.
