President Mnangagwa has called for increased economic trade and strengthening of relations between Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea.
Speaking at the signing ceremony of Bilateral Agreements between the two countries at State House in Harare today, President Mnangagwa called on public and private sector players in the two countries to increase cooperation.
“The volume of trade and investment gives us room for further expansion and increase,” he said.
“I urge our private and public sectors to pursue bilateral cooperation so that we capitalise on the vast prospects in sectors such as agriculture, mining, tourism, energy, and manufacturing, among others.
“Our youth and women remain critical actors for our economies.”
He called for the players to increase collaboration, especially in small to medium enterprises run by youth and women.
President Mnangagwa also applauded Equatorial Guinea for supporting Zimbabwe during the United Nations Security Council non-permanent seat elections that were recently held in New York.
He also commended President Mbasogo for condemning the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.
Speaking at the same event, Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Nguema Mbasogo said the agreements to be signed today should uplift people from the two countries.
“The agreements signed today should result in tangible results,” he said. “They should enhance sustainable development for the benefit of our people.”
