As fellow Commonwealth members, President Masisi said the relations were rooted in some similarities between the two nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese relations are borne out of the two countries\u2019 close historical, political, economic, social and cultural ties as well as their commitment to common values of democracy and good governance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The bilateral relations, he said, were further nurtured by recent interactions between the two heads of state.<\/p>\n

President Masisi said it was only fitting that the two countries should meet at different levels to exchange notes on how best to serve their respective populace.<\/p>\n

He said Botswana was committed to promoting multilateralism and its rules-based approach to advance sustainable global peace, development and security.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to exploring new avenues of cooperation and deepening understanding between our two nations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
