The governments of Brazil and Belgium are to help Mozambique with its project of industrial development.

Thursday's issue of the Maputo daily, Noticias, reported that the two governments are to assist the Maputo administration in drawing up a strategy for that purpose.

It also said that Brazilian and Belgium specialists are to come to Mozambique soon to carry out a study to relaunch the project later this year.

Mozambique loses a lot of money in exporting raw materials, because it has no capacity to process its goods, the report said.

According to Noticias, the northern port city of Nacala is likely to be in the list of new industrial zones.
