An amicable visit it would seem. It is important that the trade and economic ideas are followed up carefully. International trade is in a convertible currency such as the US dollar. Both Malawi and especially Zimbabwe have unstable currencies which in trade terms leads to the import of inflation with all its harmful effects.

Currency stabilisation must be top priority with trade expansion following closely behind.

Cost of transportation is also a disproportionate hindrance to trade. It eventually goes on the cost of goods. Hauliers must not be a hindrance to international trade. They can break a deal behind which are many productive jobs.
