Joint communiqué

From 8 to 10 July 1990, at the headquarters of the Community of San Egidio, Rome, a direct meeting took

place between a delegation of the Government of the People's Republic of Mozambique, headed by

Armando Emílio Guebuza, Minister of Transport and Communications, and a delegation of RENAMO,

headed by Raul Manuel Domingos, Chief of the External Relations Department.

Mario Raffaelli, representative of the Government of the Italian Republic, Andrea Riccardi and Matteo

Zuppi, both of the Community of San Egidio, and Jaime Gonçlves, Archbishop of Beira, attended the

meeting as observers.

The two delegations, acknowledging themselves to be compatriots and members of the great Mozambican

family, expressed satisfaction and pleasure at this direct, open and frank meeting, the first to take place

between the two parties.

The two delegations expressed interest and willingness to do everything possible to conduct a constructive

search for a lasting peace for their country and their people.

Taking into account the higher interests of the Mozambican nation, the two parties agreed that they must

set aside what divides them and focus, as a matter of priority, on what unites them, in order to establish a

common working basis so that, in a spirit of mutual understanding, they can engage in a dialogue in which

they discuss their different points of view.

The two delegations affirmed their readiness to dedicate themselves fully, in a spirit of mutual respect and

understanding, to the search for a working basis from which to end the war and create the necessary

political, economic and social conditions for building a lasting peace and normalizing the life of all

Mozambican citizens.

At the close of the meeting, the two delegations decided to meet again in due course at Rome, in the

presence of the same observers.

They expressed satisfaction and gratitude for the spirit of friendship and

the hospitality and support shown them by the Italian Government and by all those who helped make this

meeting possible.

Done at San Egidio, Rome, on 10 July 1990.
