China and Mozambique sign $ 11m arms deal
Beijing 21 Dec (ANA) - China has signed a deal with Mozambique's army to provide training and equipment valued at roughly $ 11.5m (£ 9.3m). Chinese ambassador Su Jian said at the ceremony that military co-operation between the two countries dated back to Mozambique’s national liberation struggle when China provided training and other assistance for the fighters of the liberation movement. The liberation struggle was between 1962 and 1974. It was followed by a brutal civil war that ended in 1992.(ANA)
