Zambia beckons Malawi traders to Ndola trade fair

Zambia’s High Commissioner to Malawi Salome Mwananshiku is urging Malawi traders to participate in the 51st Zambia International Trade Fair scheduled from July1-7 in Ndola, on the Copperbelt Province of Zambia.

Mwananshiku says in statement signed by first secretary responsible for press at Zambia’s High Commission Chansa Kabwela that the trade fair is a great platform that Zambian and Malawian exhibitors can use to showcase their products and services and create partnerships with other business entities in the Southern African region and beyond.

She said the Zambia International Trade Fair has over the years continued to contribute to the consolidation of the economic ties with the Southern African region and indeed the rest of the world.

“As Africa and particularly the Southern African bloc aspires for greater regional integration, there is need to take advantage of such platforms to market the various services and products that our countries have to offer. Such events provide an opportunity for joint venture partnerships apart from helping to attract direct investment and establish local contacts,” said Mwananshiku.

The trade fair whose themed is ‘Prosperity Through Business Reforms and Linkages’ is open to manufacturers, agents, merchants, representatives, service organizations, financial institutions, transporters, caterers and government sectors.
