The Chairperson of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor Secretariat says Africa should underscore the importance of road infrastructure and corridor development in achieving economic development.

Orapelenge Mosigi was speaking at the official opening of the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade For Demand of Infrastructure and Services workshop underway at Swakopmund.

The aim of the workshop is to see how countries can join forces to minimise crime along the Trans-Kalahari corridor and, at the same time, ensure an efficient flow of trade between the countries.
