these years

It is the six years of great economic development in Mozambique. Millions of hectares of fertile land are newly reclaimed every year, and the output of grain, cotton, and oil crops has grown substantially every year. From frozen meat to fish products and canned fruits, Europe almost wants as much as there is, the more the better.

This has greatly promoted the economic take-off of Mozambique, and has taken off the hat of backward region, and has entered the ranks of the middle economically developed regions of the empire.

Seoul City and Qigqu City are twin cities that shine in Mozambique. They are the industrial dragons that lead the overall economic development of the entire region. One is good at light industry and the other is good at heavy industry.

Ranked ninth is Gusu City, which is the deputy squad leader of the Songjiang city circle. The urban population has soared from 773,000 to 1.42 million. The population growth rate is second only to Qiqu City. It is also an emerging industry. city.

Horizontal Comparison

Melbourne has slipped from the first largest city in Australia to the tenth largest city, which contains the changes of historical vicissitudes, the shift of the center of gravity from a resource-based society to an industrial society, and a change in the population structure from a predominantly white to a predominantly Chinese population. Australia’s historic city has gone through so much.
