History
Historically, the slave trade was carried out through the Strait of Mozambique, slaves from Madagascar were brought by water to the coast of Portuguese East Africa (present-day Mozambique), and from there they were sent to third countries. From 1610 to 1810, about 160,000 slaves from Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands passed through Portuguese East Africa [2] . Currently, there are practically no trade and political contacts between the countries.
