Zambia's Minister of Commerce, Trade, and Industry has urged African countries to trade among themselves before engaging with the outside world.

Chipoka Mulenga remarked this at the Namibia-Zambia Business Seminar panel discussion held at Swakopmund.

The Zambian Minister says African nations should start enhancing one another instead of competing against each other.

He lauded Namibia for its strong economic growth, significant advancement in development and the country's accomplishments in the last few years, which Zambia wishes to benchmark from.
