Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa calls for stronger intra-regional trade across COMESA, urging businesses in member states to forge partnerships that increase investment and create jobs. He makes the remarks as COMESA works toward building a more integrated regional market.
According to the reports, Mnangagwa speaks while officially opening the COMESA Business Forum in Harare. One outlet highlights his emphasis on boosting trade through business-led collaboration, while another adds that he also challenges member states to produce and process more, linking the regional trading drive to greater output and value addition within the bloc.
The coverage consistently frames the initiative as part of COMESA’s efforts to strengthen the regional economy, with the private sector positioned as a key actor alongside government and production-focused measures in member states.
