Botswana is committed to regional integration and that of the continent at large, newly elected President Duma Boko has said.
He was speaking at the handover of the SADC Secretariat Headquarters to President Mnangagwa, who is the bloc’s chairman, this afternoon.
President Boko said Botswana appreciates President Mnangagwa’s leadership as SADC chairman.
“The SADC chair and I are here to receive this building and attest to this significant milestone. We are here to reaffirm the binds and bonds that hold us together,” he said.
“This is a propitious moment which began over 20 years ago when a decision was taken in Luanda to establish the SADC Headquarters in Botswana. The idea moved from words spoken into concept crystallised, examples enacted and it is a spectacular outcome attained.”
President Boko concluded his speech by indicating that SADC stands out as a source of hope, strength, unity, resilience and social cohesion.
