Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba has called on East and Southern African countries to strengthen regional cooperation in transport infrastructure. Speaking at the 10th Council of Ministers meeting of the Maritime Organisation of Eastern, Southern and Northern Africa, he urged member nations to work together to cut the cost and time involved in moving goods across the region.
Nchemba said that improved regional transport cooperation could expand market access and accelerate economic growth. Better regional logistics infrastructure could support trade and economic development across the bloc, he suggested.
