Visits of this nature highlight the importance of continuous cooperation between European Union Member States and EUMAM MOZ, as well as the shared commitment to strengthening the capabilities of the FADM, contributing to their autonomy and operational readiness. 

As a non-executive European Union mission, EUMAM MOZ focuses its efforts on the operational training cycle, maintenance and specialised training, supporting the capacity-building of the FADM towards self-sustainability.
