DP World planning new logistics, port investments
DP World is planning new investments in Mozambique, where it already operates and is expanding the port of Maputo, the chairman and CEO of the Dubai-based multinational in the logistics and port sector said on Monday, following a meeting in New York with the Mozambican president.
“I want to say that we are enthusiastic about the country and the nearby cities, Nacala [northern Mozambique], many places today where, we believe, we can add value to the trade sector,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, speaking to journalists after meeting with Filipe Nyusi, who is visiting New York as part of the 79th United Nations General Assembly.
“We’ve been in Mozambique for more than 20 years and Mozambique is now a major cargo hub, especially for neighbouring countries, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, and the region. And this is reflected in our investment to expand the port of Maputo and we have discussed the possibility of creating industrial parks in various parts of the country and improving logistics in the country and in neighbouring countries. For Maputo it’s a great victory in terms of trade,” added Ahmed Bin Sulayem about the meeting with Nyusi.
