Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi says Zambia and Botswana have the potential to grow trade between the two countries.
Mr. Masisi said this can be attributed to the number of success stories and steady growth of trade that has been recorded among the two peoples.
The Botswana Head of State noted that the two countries have the ability to attract exhibitors from all over the world stating that he is optimistic that Zambia will continue recording more success in her business trade environment.
President Masisi was speaking when he officiated at this year’s 54th International Trade Fair in Ndola held under the theme-Private sector, key to industrialization.
Mr. Masisi thanked his Zambian counterpart for considering him to grace the important occasion which he said demonstrates the strong bond that Zambia has shared with Botswana over the past years.
And President Masisi has encouraged Zambians to take advantage of the favorable economic front in the country to grow their trade base.
And Mr. Masisi has further invited his counterpart to attend that country’s business expo which will be held from October 30 to November 2, 2018.
And President Edgar Lungu said the increased exhibitors from outside the country during the International Trade Fair every year signifies the strengthened bilateral ties and confidence that Zambia continues to share with her neighbours.
The Head of State noted that both Zambia and Botswana have a duty to build on the friendship that the two peoples have continued to share.
He added that it is important for the two countries to reflect on the strides that they shared during the independence struggle.
President Masisi was accompanied by his wife Jane Masisi and senior government officials from Botswana.
Also in attendance was the former President of Botswana Festus Mogae.
botswana IS NOT RENEWING CONTRACTS FOR ALL FOREIGNERS INCLUDING ZAMBIANS, WE NEED TO RECIPROCATE ALSO THEIR WOMEN ARE MORE BEAUTIFULL THAN ZAMBIANS WE CAN EXCHANGE THUS THE BEST BILATERAL PRICE ONE CAN GET
RUBBISH! what areas of trade will you Grow that you haven’t already?? Ma no.nsense aya …. how many country leaders have visited and we hear the same 20 Bilateral trade agreements signed … Lungu visits this and that country to grow trade. Morrocan prince signs 7 trade deals with Zed Presido Lungu and it goes on and on what have we seen on the ground ?? Nothing
Guess this means more imports… and more expats. We don’t really have much to offer besides Boom sparko.
So you will hear very soon that those ribbons they are wearing cost $100,000 each …. #ubombamwibala
Money is good, just look at how bashi Tasila is dressing these day… if he can develop Zed half as good as his fashion sense?
I feel sorry for Botswana, Masisi associating with this known corrupt thief, it will not be long before the corruption index level sky rocket for Botswana. Watch this space.
Lungu’s sense of fashion in disastrous! Anyway, just look at his wife too, she’s always dressed like a vimbuza!
What Zambia can learn from Botswana is honest and credible leadership. Tswana’s are in it to serve and not plunder.
No way you can compare “Ubomba mwibala , alila mwibala mentality” with that the “servant leadership of the Tswanas.” May God continue to bless the Tswana leadership.
