ZIMBABWE intends to expand trade and economic cooperation with India to benefit from the large market provided by the Asian country, a Cabinet Minister has said.
Speaking at the ongoing 17th CII-Exim Conclave on India-Africa Growth Partnership that is being held in India, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the Second Republic has created a conducive platform for Harare and Delhi to harness growth opportunities through cooperation in the digital economy.
“As Zimbabwe, we are fully aware of the business opportunities this latest edition of the Conclave is offering and ushering,” she said.
“My President, H.E. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, is keenly interested to harness the full economic potential of the Dehli-Harare axis.
“We are duty-bound to go back to the future of the glory that was our trade links across the short Indian Ocean.”
The Second Republic under President Mnangagwa, said Minister Mutsvangwa, was making huge strides in national development.
“This is the underlying creation and exchange of goods and services that change the daily lives of the populace.
“Zimbabwe is 30 percent complete in building Africa’s largest carbon steel plant in Mvuma-Chivhu-Manhize snug at the centre of the country,” she said.
“I boldly announce that production is slated to start mid-year 2023. Our mild steel will be the most affordable globally.”
