Government is committed to fostering an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Dr Thomas Utete Wushe has said.
Dr Utete was speaking as he officially opened the BizNet B2B Linkages Platform Awareness Workshop in Harare this morning.
The three-day workshop is a platform for experts to gather insights on how to explore the BizNet Online Market Hub that connects local, regional and international companies with businesses in the broader COMESA market.
Dr Wushe said the main mission of this initiative is to advance regional trade and strengthen business connectivity, as well as opening up opportunities in international markets.
“This is very critical in light of endeavours to grow the levels of trade within the region and indeed within the African continent, in line with the African Continental Free Trade Area’s (the AfCFTA’s) aspirations,” said Dr Wushe.
“The Ministry of Industry and Commerce, together with our partners at the COMESA Business Council and the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce, is committed to fostering an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
“By working closely with the private sector and undertaking continuous consultations, the Government will be in a position to develop policies and frameworks that are responsive to the needs of our business community.”
