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.
