"We already have the financing to carry out feasibility studies for this factory," Amorin said as he wrapped up his one-day visit to the country. Mozambique, like Brazil, was once a colony of Portugal. "Health ministry officials will come to discuss the final details," said Amorin. No date has been set for construction.
