Tanzania and Mozambique have entered into new agreements to protect their shared border against an increasing terrorism threat caused by ongoing insurgency movements in northern Mozambique.

Presidents Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania and Filipe Nyusi of Mozambique witnessed the signing of two memoranda of understanding (MoUs), one on peace and security and the other on defence cooperation, in Maputo on Wednesday as the Tanzanian leader embarked on a three-day state visit.
