It is important that Mozambique oil
and gas companies are set to step up their cooperation with
Italian fuels giant Eni, President Sergio Mattarella said on a
visit to Maputo Tuesday.
Italy is seeking to cut its reliance on Russian gas amid the
Ukraine war and has already brought it down from 40% to around
25% of total gas imports with deals with Algeria, Egypt, and
Libya among other African countries.
Eni is seeking a similar deal to up collaboration with
Mozambique.
"Collaboration with Eni is important here: it is precious and I
hope it can spread to other Italian firms," Mattarella said at
Maputo's presidential palace with Mozambique counterpart Filipe
Jacinto Nyusi.
