Marc Guyonnaud, Branch Manager of AGS Frasers Mozambique, was contacted by the Dutch Embassy who requested our assistance to organise the temporary import of the exhibition pictures, for the Maputo stopover. We have maintained an excellent working relationship with the Dutch Embassy for a number of years. AGS Frasers Mozambique welcomed the challenge, and offered to render the service for free. The opening ceremony was attended by approximately 300 people, and the exhibition was a tremendous success.

His Excellency, Frans Beijvoet, Dutch Ambassador in Maputo, warmly thanked AGS Frasers Mozambique for our support and expressed his wish to have us involved in the 2008 tour.
