Tomaz Salomão (born 16 October 1954) is aMozambican politician and economist. He wasMinister of Economy and Finance from 1994 to 2000.[1] He served as the third Executive Secretary of theSouthern African Development Community (SADC).[2] Salomão was appointed at the 2005 Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Southern African Development Community inGaborone,Botswana. He earned his doctorate atJohns Hopkins University inBaltimore,Maryland,United States.
Opponents of PresidentRobert Mugabe ofZimbabwe have criticized Salomão for his assessment ofZimbabwean elections as free and fair. Salomão said that SADC would pull out of anEU summit to be held inLisbon in December 2007 if Zimbabwe was on the agenda. "SADC will not go to Lisbon to discuss Zimbabwe because the summit is not about Zimbabwe, but about relations between the EU and Africa," he said.
