The Mozambique government has defined infrastructure development as an important investment pillar, a decision that explains the nation's effort to expand and modernise the main roads and railways that link the country to the continent's hinterland. The rehabilitation of EN6 and the deepest investments in the ports of Beira, Nacala and Maputo are included in the list of infrastructures for which investments were made available. "It is our vision that the competitiveness and efficiency of national ports capitalise on the potential of rail and road infrastructures, which in turn contribute to our balance of payments and growth in the Gross Domestic Product," he said. With emergency dredging in the port of Beira, according to Minister Nhambiu, the conditions will be created for the connection with the main trading nodes of the world. The representative of the delegated administrator of Cornelder de Moçambique, which operates the Port of Beira, António Libombo, said that his institution made an investment with a view to becoming a port of reference.
