Maputo, Nov. 14, 2025 (Lusa) - Brazilian President Lula da Silva will visit Mozambique on 24 November, according to a note sent to newsrooms by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, information confirmed on Friday by Lusa with a source from the Mozambican executive.

In the note, for the accreditation of media professionals, it is stated that the Brazilian head of state will travel to Maputo, the Mozambican capital.

The visit will take place immediately after the G20 summit - a group that brings together the world's leading economies, including Brazil - which will take place in Johannesburg, in neighbouring South Africa, on 22 and 23 November.

Mozambican President Daniel Chapo had invited his Brazilian counterpart to visit Mozambique during their bilateral meeting on 7 November, on the sidelines of COP30 in Belém, Brazil.

"The presidents committed to deepening cooperation in areas such as agriculture, entrepreneurship, health, education and the fight against organised crime. They will also redouble their efforts to expand trade and investment between the two countries," said a note from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time, already anticipating Lula da Silva's trip to Maputo "following his participation in the G20 Summit in South Africa."

The members of the G20 are the 19 leading economies in the world: the United States, China, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy, India, Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey, plus the European Union and the African Union.

Brazil, which has held the presidency of the G20 since the first day of December 2023, has invited Portugal, Angola, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Nigeria, Norway and Singapore to be observers of the organisation, as well as the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).
