President Emmerson Mnangagwa urged Zimbabwean and Mozambican enterprises to capitalize on strengthening diplomatic relations by transitioning from basic commerce toward integrated manufacturing networks that generate employment and mutual economic gains. Speaking at a business forum organized by trade promotion agencies from both nations, Mnangagwa emphasized that the Bi-National Commission creates a framework for eliminating obstacles and accelerating private investment between the neighboring countries.
The Zimbabwean leader highlighted infrastructure improvements along the Beira and Maputo corridors, with railway rehabilitation at Machipanda designed to boost freight capacity and reduce logistics expenses. He called for coordinated customs procedures and the elimination of trade barriers to support the African Continental Free Trade Area objectives. Mnangagwa encouraged joint ventures across sectors such as agro-processing, renewable energy, mining services, and tourism while stressing that women, youth, and marginalized populations should benefit from expanded commercial opportunities.
Mozambican President Daniel Chapo identified tourism and agriculture as priority sectors for bilateral development cooperation.
