Mr Ramachandran will leave on Friday to Mozambique. During the visit, Mr. Ramachandran is expected to sign an agreement on Security Cooperation between the two countries with his Mozambican counterpart Vice Minister of Interior Jose Mandra. The minister will also meet the Indian community in Maputo to share their concerns and take up the matter appropriately with the Mozambican authorities.

AIR correspondent reports, Indo-Mozambican relations have been traditionally warm and friendly.
