Minister of State (MoS) for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh on Wednesday interacted with the members of the Indian community in Maputo as part of an official visit to Mozambique to mark the 50th Independence Day celebrations of the East African nation.

Talking to X, the MoS said, "Delighted to interact with the members of the Indian community in Maputo. Highlighting the Indian growth story and the inclusive and positive transformations achieved under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the East African nation has a vibrant Indian community of around 25000 members.

Singh is also expected to call on Mozambique President Daniel Francisco Chapo to discuss the bilateral relations.

Earlier on Tuesday, the MoS inaugurated the Indian government-funded Jaipur Foot camp in Maputo along with Mozambique Health Minister Ussene Hilario Isse.

"Inaugurated Jaipur Foot (artificial limb fitment) camp in Maputo along with Health Minister of Mozambique, Ussene Hilario Isse. Funded by GoI, the camp will provide artificial limbs to around 1200 beneficiaries, positively impacting the lives of beneficiaries and their families," said Singh.

The MoS also visited the decades-old Salamanga Hindu Temple and stressed the importance of the devotion and resilience of the Hindu community in Mozambique, calling it an "abode of peace."

He also highlighted the "enduring bonds of unity, peace and heritage" shared by India and Mozambique.

During his visit, the MoS also held a meeting with Mozambique's Foreign Minister Maria Manuela dos Santos Lucas and discussed strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.

With the 50th Independence Day celebrations of Mozambique, India's relations with the East African country have also completed a golden jubilee.

Great to see India strengthening ties with African nations! The Jaipur Foot initiative is truly commendable - this is the kind of soft power diplomacy that makes us proud 🇮🇳. Hope we see more such humanitarian projects in other countries too.

While I appreciate the diplomatic efforts, I wish our ministers would focus equally on domestic issues. Many villages in India still lack basic healthcare - shouldn't we fix our own house first before helping others? Just saying...

Mozambique has been a reliable partner for India in Africa. Our trade relations have grown steadily over the years. The Indian diaspora there is doing us proud! 👏 More such engagements will help counter Chinese influence in the region.

The Jaipur Foot camp is such a noble initiative! It's heartwarming to see India extending help to those in need abroad. This is our sanskriti - sharing and caring. Hope the beneficiaries get a new lease of life with these prosthetics.

Interesting to note the mention of Salamanga Hindu Temple. Our cultural connections with Africa go way back! The Indian Ocean has connected our civilizations for centuries. More power to such historical bonds 🤝

While the visit is positive, I hope discussions included Mozambique's support at international forums. In today's geopolitical scenario, we need all the friends we can get! Africa is the new battleground for influence between global powers.
