Aid donors meet in Paris

    JOHANNESBURG

    Mozambique's aid donors are to meet in Paris on Thursday and Friday to discuss levels of economic assistance in the coming year to the country which is still reeling under the effects of recent floods, news reports said on Monday.

    Donor countries met in Rome last month and pledged US $452.9 million dollars in flood relief, but the Paris meeting will cover wider economic aid. "Mozambique has the economic potential to become one of the brighter spots in Africa," the World Bank, which is hosting the Paris meeting, said in a country brief on Africa.

    Mozambique's delegation to the two-day Paris meeting will be headed by Prime Minister Pascoal Mocumbi and include Finance Minister Luisa Diogo and central bank governor Adriano Maleiane.
