President Filipe Nyusi declared on 29 November that Mozambique will continue to be guided by the values and principles of the Commonwealth,seeking to promote an atmosphere conducive to peace, security,good governance and sustainable development.
Speaking at a press conference in Valletta,the capital of Malta,where he had attended theCommonwealth summit,President Nyusi stated that the values of the Common wealth“fit perfectly into our programme of governance,and questions concerning peace,the separation of powers,and sustainable development are matters which are in alignment with our programme”.
His participation at the summit, he added, served to reaffirm Mozambique’s commitment to the principles of the Commonwealth, which it had joined in 1995.
President Nyusi took part in the
retreat of the Commonwealth Leaders at the St. Angelo
Fortress, where they were able
to discuss,in an open and
spontaneous way, the problems of concern to the member states and attempt to identify solutions.
The questions discussed included
migration,extremism and terrorism. The Commonwealth,said the President,“is a forum which
brings universal experiences
from many continents and this
miscellany of ideas helps greatly for us to evolve as states and nations”.
President Nyusi said the summit was also marked by discussion of the preparation of the summit on climate change in Paris.
The leaders endorsed a strong message to the Paris meeting,at which Mozambique will be
represented by Prime Minister
Carlos Agostinho do Rosario.
The summit’s statement on climate change described it as“anexistential threat” to many Commonwealth member states and called for the Paris gathering to produce “an ambitious, equitable,inclusive,rules-based and durable outcome ... that includes a legally binding agreement”to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Commonwealth leaders
also called for developed
nations to spend US$100 billion
a year by 2020 to help
developing countries deal with
the effects of climate change.
The summit elected Baroness Patricia Scotland,who was born on the Caribbean island of Dominica, but has lived in Britain for most of her life, as the new Commonwealth General Secretary, to replace Kamalesh Sharma,who is retiring in April 2016, at the end of his second term of office.
Baroness Scotland was a Minister of State in the British Home Office from 2003 to 2007, and then Attorney-General from 2007 to 2010.She will be the first woman General Secretary of the
Commonwealth.SOURCE AIM
