China hands over new parliament building

    JOHANNESBURG

    China has given Mozambique a new building to house its parliament, media reports said on Thursday. The building cost an estimated US $6 million.

    The Chinese deputy foreign minister, Ji Pei Ding, said China would also provide all the necessary equipment and furniture for parliament. The new building has several halls and rooms for the functioning of the parliamentary groups of the various political parties and for the assembly’s working commissions. The Mozambican foreign minister said that cooperation between the two “dates back to Mozambique’s liberation struggle, that was launched in 1964, and concluded in 1975, with the proclamation of Mozambican independence”.
