Overview
The Italian Embassy in Maputo coordinates Italy's diplomatic, development cooperation, and cultural engagement with Mozambique. Italy is active in Mozambique through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), supporting health, education, governance, and sustainable development programmes. Italian businesses and NGOs maintain a significant presence, and Italian missionary organisations (Comboniani, Salesiani) have a long history in Mozambican education and health services. The embassy provides consular services for Italian nationals travelling in or residing in Mozambique — from Maputo's seafood restaurants and Portuguese colonial architecture to the Indian Ocean diving and beach destinations that draw Italian tourists. The embassy also covers Eswatini and Botswana through honorary consular correspondents.
