Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Mozambican President Daniel Chapo has outlined strategic priorities focusing on national security and economic stability. In late August, Chapo pledged to intensify efforts against terrorism in Cabo Delgado, stating the government would confront threats “frontally and determinedly, harshly, and without complacency.” To support this, he advocated for the modernization of the Mozambique Defense Armed Forces (FADM) through investments in advanced technologies like drones, artificial intelligence, and surveillance systems. By mid-September, the administration’s focus expanded to include the legal frameworks necessary for economic growth. During an event in Vilankulo, Chapo emphasized that “legal certainty is a fundamental component” for attracting investment, particularly in the tourism and natural resource sectors. He argued that judicial institutions must provide predictable rules and timely conflict resolution to ensure sustainable development. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: Daniel Chapo emphasizes legal certainty for Mozambique investment Mozambican President Daniel Chapo stated that legal certainty and predictable judicial institutions are essential to attracting sustainable investment and supporting tourism in Vilankulo. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/daniel-chapo-emphasizes-legal-certainty-for-mozambique-investment ### 2026-08-28: Daniel Chapo pledges to intensify anti-terrorism and military modernization President Daniel Chapo has committed to intensifying anti-terrorism efforts in Cabo Delgado and modernizing Mozambique's armed forces with advanced technology and enhanced training. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/daniel-chapo-pledges-to-intensify-anti-terrorism-and-military-modernization --- Cite as: Mozambique national security and economic policy.
