Economic diplomacy: The ace up Seretse's sleeve :: Mmegi Online

New Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation minister, Vincent Seretse, plans to turn the country's diplomats around the world into ambassadors of economic growth. Through economic diplomacy, foreign policy will not only aim to position the country as the premier investment destination, but also secure greater access for the local products, services and skills. Staff Writer, MBONGENI MGUNI writes

In his mission, Seretse’s background serves him well. The country’s top diplomat was formerly the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry and the assistant Minister of Finance and Development Planning, the latter being his debut Cabinet appointment, after joining Parliament in 2009.

Prior to joining Parliament, Seretse served at the helm of the Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (now BTCL) and the Botswana Housing Corporation (BHC).
