Companies from both nations walked away happy with the connections they made. The mission proved that strong political ties between the neighboring countries help businesses thrive.

That represents a solid 23 percent increase that puts Mozambique as Zimbabwe's fourth most important trading partner. Beira markets already sell plenty of Zimbabwean products through informal channels that need proper business structures.
