The Zimbabwean President, Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa has left the country to attend a tripartite Summit with Botswana and Mozambique. The tripartite Summit will be held in Zimbabwe’s eastern neighbouring, Mozambique.
In a statement seen by newsreportzim.com, the Permanent Secretary for Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana highlighted that “His Excellency President Emmerson Mnangagwa has left for Mozambique to attend a tripartite Summit with Botswana and Mozambique on the Techobanine port and Limpopo railway line projects.”
The tripartite Summit will be on the Techobanine port and Limpopo railway line projects. The Techobanine deep water port and railway line projects are envisaged to promote intra-regional trade through handling increasing traffic from Zimbabwe and Botswana.
The project aims to facilitate the transportation of Botswana’s vast coal reserves, with the new port serving as a key export hub. The railway line will extend into central Botswana, connecting to existing infrastructure in Zimbabwe.
This regional initiative promises to boost trade and economic development in the region, particularly in the mining and transportation sectors. It would allow the development of major coal reserves in landlocked Botswana and their transportation through Zimbabwe to ports in Mozambique.
