Information and Communication Technology Joel Kaapanda has said.
Minister Kaapanda said the exchange of ideas between African countries would result in a developed continent.
He made the remarks while addressing journalists in Harare before his departure yesterday afternoon.
Minister Kaapanda and his delegation were in Zimbabwe since Wednesday last week.
“If we implement the good things, we would have learnt from others then we are guaranteed of success,” he said.
“We appreciate the advancement made by Zimbabwe in the technology and as a country we have to implement some of their programmes to develop our country.”
Minister Kaapanda hailed the bilateral relationship between the two countries that he said would help to put the Sadc agenda of regional integration forward.
He described the relationship as a “two-way traffic” where both countries would benefit.
“To us Zimbabwe is our second home and we will continue working together with the philosophy of our founding fathers. Let us be joined by the well tasted solidarity we share,” he said.
He extended an invitation to Zimbabwe’s regulatory experts to the forthcoming ITU-supported seminar on broadcast and telecommunications regulation in Namibia.
Media, Information and Publicity Minister Webster Shamu said the visit accorded them time to review progress in respect of co-operation as well as exploring new “possibilities in cementing that relationship.”
He said the two countries would have a Joint Commission in Namibia this week to find a way to relate to each other on a regular basis.
“We have covered substantial ground both by way of reviewing the present scope of our operations and by way of extending them into new areas. We have warm fraternal relations that we must continue cherishing,” he said. The two countries’ information officials discussed co-operation in broadcasting and the print media during the visit.
Minister Shamu said the discussions were a follow-up to issues raised at the last meeting held in Namibia in 2009.
Minister Shamu had visited Namibia with officials from his ministry.
The two countries share a similar history as they were both born out of arduous liberation struggles. In those struggles the people of Namibia and Zimbabwe stood shoulder to shoulder to free their countries and they are still doing the same in various fields.
