Rising transportation and fuel costs, regional instability and infrastructure gaps are creating challenges for global trade. For Mozambique, strengthening ports, railways and transport corridors could open new opportunities to connect neighbouring economies with international markets. In this Sagarmanthan Studio ministerial conversation, João Jorge Matlombe, Mozambique’s Minister of Transport and Logistics, discusses plans to improve port efficiency, upgrade the country’s rail network and strengthen connectivity for landlocked countries. He also addresses the impact of conflict in the Middle East on transportation and fuel costs, emphasising the importance of peace and regional stability. Moderated by Samir Bhattacharya, Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), India.
