The participants highlighted that increasing trade within the African continent is essential for fostering industrial development and sustainable economic expansion. A key transition occurred during the event, as Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa assumed the role of COMESA chairperson, succeeding Kenyan President William Ruto. The summit served as a platform for member states to reaffirm their commitment to collective economic progress and the strengthening of regional partnerships to improve market connectivity across Eastern and Southern Africa.
