Businesses urged to utilise trade agreements

Kenyan High Commissioner to Botswana, Ambassador Jean Wambui Kimani made the call at the official opening of the Botswana Consumer Fair in Gaborone on Monday.

She said businesspeople from the two countries should establish long-term networks to grow trade and investment, adding that robust intra-Africa trade is vital in achieving prosperity and growth amongst African states.  “The relations between Kenya and Botswana are warm and characterised by historical ties that bind the people of the two countries,” she said. According to Kimani, the various memoranda of understanding (MoU) that the two countries have signed should give both Botswana and Kenyan companies the chance to access each other’s markets.
