Abstract

India and Mozambique both have a long history of friendly relations that have been built upon traditional linkages dating back to the pre-colonial period. There has been the exchange of Indian merchants and businessmen to Mozambique even before Vasco da Gama set sail for Africa and India. Due to the migration based on trading, the Indians have settled in Mozambique as traders. These ancient people-to-people contacts have been further built upon in modern times, to forge a strong bilateral relationship based on regular political contacts, ever-deepening economic engagement and well-integrated Indian community in Mozambique. India has a history of supporting African nations in their freedom struggle and it did support Mozambique too. In fact, India was amongst the first countries to open its embassy in Mozambique immediately after its independence. The Indian Ambassador was among those who witnessed the historic moment of the Portuguese flag coming down and new Mozambican flag going up in 1975. This article would try to trace the relationship between India and Mozambique in the past and will bring out the important areas for further co-operation between the two nations.

印度和莫桑比克:不断发展的关系

印度和莫桑比克都有着悠久的友好关系历史，这种关系建立在可追溯到前殖民时期的传统联系的基础上。早在达伽马(Vasco da Gama)起航前往非洲和印度之前，就有印度商人与莫桑比克进行贸易往来。由于以贸易为基础的移民，印度人以贸易商的身份定居在莫桑比克。这些古老的民间交流在现代得到了进一步的发展，在定期的政治接触、不断深化的经济往来和在莫桑比克良好融合的印度社区的基础上，建立了牢固的双边关系。印度有支持非洲国家自由斗争的历史，它也支持过莫桑比克。事实上，印度是莫桑比克独立后第一批在该国开设大使馆的国家之一。印度大使是1975年目睹葡萄牙国旗降下和莫桑比克新国旗升起这一历史性时刻的人之一。本文将试图追溯印度和莫桑比克过去的关系，并将提出两国之间进一步合作的重要领域。
