President Nyusi then inspected a guard of honour mounted by the Kenya Air force. They then proceeded for a meeting were they are discussing the elimination of double taxation and lift visa restrictions. CS Monica Juma and her Mozambique counterpart Jose Antonio Pachecho have since constituted a Joint Commission of Cooperation tasked with this mandate.
“The double taxation agreement is still under consideration, it’s one of the areas that we expect finalization in the next couple of months and we hope that by the time we come to the second JCC meeting there will be a lot of projects registered,” she said.
