Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade Siboniso Nkambule, represented by Under Secretary Cebile Nhlabatsi officially opened the meeting held at the Royal Villas which will run for two days.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Majesty\u2019s Government and the people of the Kingdom of Eswatini feel delighted to host you in this beautiful Kingdom and we hope you will enjoy your stay in the few days you will be with us\u201d said Nkambule.<\/p>\n

The meeting is attended by private sector business people from around the country.<\/p>\n

According to Nkambule this engagement comes at a time when Eswatini has recently launched the National AfCFTA Implementation Strategy and Action Plan.<\/p>\n

This will guide the implementation of the AfCFTA Agreements whose vision is to provide a strategic roadmap for Eswatini to maximize the country\u2019s benefits under the AfCFTA, targeting an annual regional export growth of at least 10 per cent.<\/p>\n

He stated that the strategy recommends the development of a robust monitoring and evaluation framework, with appropriate tools and instruments to support decision-making and the taking of corrective action.<\/p>\n
