Khaberni - The visit of the President of Mozambique, Daniel Francisco Chapo, to Rome has turned into a global event, not only on the diplomatic level but also on social media platforms, after Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni’s reaction caught attention during their meeting at the Chigi Palace, the Italian government headquarters.
Cameras captured the moment Meloni shook hands with Chapo, where the height difference between them was evident, prompting the Italian Prime Minister to look up while trying to hide her significant surprise with a slight smile and a shy laugh.
The scene quickly became a subject of humorous engagement on social platforms, making it a global trend lately.
However, behind this amusing snapshot, the meeting carried important political and economic messages, as it addressed, in the presence of Italian President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinal Palace, enhancing bilateral cooperation between Rome and Maputo, especially under the Mattei Plan for Africa, where Mozambique is one of its top priorities.
The Italian plan focuses on sustainable agriculture, energy, vocational training, digital transformation, and healthcare, where Chapo's visit offered an opportunity to review ongoing initiatives and discuss frameworks for security, development, and economic relations between the two countries.
