摘要
Under the auspices of the Geological Society of Africa (GSAO, the Geological Mining Association of Mozambique (AGMM) organized the 21st Colloquium on African Geology under the theme "Geoscience for Poverty Relief". The Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA) was also involved into the organization of the event by setting-up the pre-CAG21 geological excursion from Johannesburg to Maputo. This cooperation between two sister societies from two neighboring countries in organizing an international event was highly appreciated and is regarded as a step for implementing and developing the policies for regional cooperation.
