At the beginning of 1895, a delegation from Tete City arrived in Bela City, focusing on the Mbeya City Steel Research Institute and Aluminum Materials Research Institute.
The main reason for the visit was the "electrolytic aluminum technology." Although the aluminum smelting plant had been established in Xinde, before Mozambique was divided into provinces, Xinde still fell under the jurisdiction of Tete City, so the negotiations were conducted by Tete City government.
Since the aluminum smelting plant could not be established, Tete City had to focus on steel, thus the steel research institute and several steel plants in Mbeya City were the key points of interest for this delegation.
The representatives of Xinde Town and Tete City together went to Mbeya City Aluminum Materials Research Institute.
