EU military mission joins Mozambique's first defence cooperation day
The EU's military assistance mission in Mozambique took part in the first Defence Cooperation Day, held at the Military Club in Maputo on 13 November 2026.
Brigadier-General Sérgio Estrela, commander of the force of the European Union Military Assistance Mission in Mozambique (EUMAM MOZ), attended the first Defence Cooperation Day in Maputo on 13 November 2026, accompanied by other mission military personnel.
The meeting, held at the Military Club under the theme "Cooperative Security: The Citizen at the Centre", brought the mission's officers together with Mozambican defence participants to discuss how security work can serve ordinary people.
The report does not give further details of the programme or outcomes, so the event is reported only as the first gathering of its kind.
Why it mattersOfficers from the EU mission and Mozambican defence bodies now have a shared forum for discussing citizen-focused security work.
