History of the U.S embassy and consulates in Maputo

The United States established diplomatic relations with Mozambique in 1975, following its independence. The U.S. Embassy in Maputo was promptly opened. The relationship was initially shaped by Cold War dynamics, but deepened significantly after Mozambique's civil war, focusing on peace, democracy, and development. The U.S. has since been a major partner in health, economic growth, and stability. The Embassy remains the sole U.S. diplomatic mission, strengthening these critical bilateral ties.
