Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga has implored business leaders to join in the quest to assert Africa’s sovereignty and preserve the continent’s interests in the unfolding new global economic and geo-political order. VP Chiwenga made these remarks yesterday when he spoke at the Connect Africa Symposium at the ongoing Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF). The symposium is one of the key business forums of the ZITF and it is specifically dedicated to conferring and sharing solutions to the vast social and economic challenges afflicting African economies. VP Chiwenga’s call comes as Zimbabwe has taken a bold and sovereign position to determine its own destiny, with President Mnangagwa on record that engagement and re-engagement will be premised on the sacrosanct fact that Zimbabwe is a sovereign independent republic. Regional and international participants who attended the symposium were left in awe at the support Government is giving to local businesses as informed by Government’s eagerness to foster private sector led economic development. “Asserting Africa’s sovereignty and unique interests in the unfolding new global economic, and geo-political order.
