Government is geared to drive the regional economic and industrialisation agenda in the COMESA region.
Ministry of Commerce and Trade Permanent Secretary (PS) Kayula Siame told ZANIS in an interview on the sidelines of the 20th COMESA Head of States Summit in Lusaka today that the community eagerly expects that all the recommendations that will be presented to the authority are approved so that the region can start the digital economic integration process.
Ms. Siame said once all the decisions are made, the member countries can start the domestication of policies.
She pointed out that Zambia is poised to influence the industrialisation agenda by insuring that job creation is not left behind.
From July 9th to 15th, 2018, Zambia has been hosting the COMESA policy organs meeting which will culminate into the Summit of Heads of State on the 18th to 19th July, 2018, annually held within the Comesa calendar.
Zambia being the host country for the Comesa Secretariat was tasked to host the Summit as well as the policy organs that precede the summit.
