According to a cooperation accord for the 2009-2010 period reached during the first session of the Vietnam-Mozambique Inter-governmental Committee in Hanoi on April 1, Vietnam will send aquaculture experts to Mozambique.

Vietnam will also grant full scholarships to Mozambique students who will take post-graduate agricultural courses in Vietnam in 2009.

Mozambique is committed to recognising Vietnam as a full market economy in the earliest time and boosting cooperation with the country in such fields as economics, science-technology, health, education, culture, sports, tourism, security and national defence.

In addition, both sides will exchange a list of export staples, including farm produce, seacooking and computer sets, to consolidate bilateral trade ties. They also decided to hold a political consultation meeting between the two Foreign Ministries in Maputo, Mozambique, in the second half of 2009.

The second session of the Vietnam-Mozambique Inter-governmental Committee on Economics, Trade and Science and Technology will be held in Maputo in 2011.
