He also considered that the connection between both countries will increase commercial and economic activity and will also favor the business community in the transport of goods, along with attracting investments and equipment to encourage the country's economic development. "This will be an important step towards economic integration at the level of Southern Africa, which will allow the country to quickly reach the level of development", he said, quoted by Angop.
