Xuan said Maputo is home to the biggest number of Vietnamese in Mozambique, housing the headquarters of Movitel - a joint venture between Vietnam's Viettel Group and Mozambique's SPI company, and a typical project for economic cooperation between the two countries.
President of the Municipal Council of Maputo Eneas Comiche expressed his hope that Maputo and Hanoi and other localities of Vietnam will strengthen cooperation in potential areas, contributing to deepening the bilateral relationship.
The two sides concurred to step up delegation exchanges, making the relationship more intensive, extensive, substantive and effective.

The naming demonstrates the respect for Vietnam’s late leader as well as the solidarity, friendship, loyalty and close ties between people of the two countries, Xuan noted.
Vietnam and Mozambique have agreed to share experience in capital city building towards innovation and modernity, and in urban management. Later the same day, Xuan visited the headquarters of Movitel, which officially launched its services in Mozambique in May 2012 and became the third mobile network operator in the country with 13 branches in 11 provinces and 157 districts./.
