BRASILIA, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday that Africa is "a priority in the external relations of Brazil."
Lula made the remarks when meeting his Mozambican counterpart Armando Guebuza in Brasilia.
"Brazil also wants to participate in development projects in Africa and cooperate with African countries particularly in the areas of health and technology," he said.
The president said that with the Brazilian government's support, a laboratory would be built in Mozambique to produce medicines to treat AIDS patients.
Guebuza appreciated the importance that the Brazilian government has attached to relations with Mozambique and the rest of Africa.
He also stressed that Mozambique has "tremendous opportunities" for public and private investment, and encouraged Brazilian businessmen to visit his country and "do business" there.
The Mozambican president, who arrived in Brazil on Sunday, will conclude his visit on Wednesday.
