Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71622, member: 636"] Zimbabwe and South Africa have scheduled the fourth session of their Bi-National Commission for January 2026 in South Africa. The high-level meeting was confirmed during discussions between Zimbabwe’s Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile. The commission will focus on enhancing cooperation in multiple economic areas, with a specific emphasis on value addition and beneficiation in sectors like mining and agriculture. Both nations aim to move beyond the export of raw materials. The officials also discussed collaboration on energy, logistics, and migration policy. South African leadership expressed gratitude for Zimbabwe’s support of its G20 presidency. The upcoming meeting follows the last commission session held in Harare in 2019, where dozens of bilateral agreements were reviewed. South Africa remains Zimbabwe's most significant trading partner.
