Rwanda-Zimbabwe trade conference postponed over coronavirus
THE inaugural Rwanda-Zimbabwe Trade and Investment Conference, which was scheduled to take place between 24-26 March in Kigali, Rwanda has been postponed.
The country’ trade development and promotion agency, ZimTrade, said the shift in dates was done with due regard to the safety and health of people, considering the risks posed by coronavirus (COVID-19).
“We will continue to monitor the situation and new dates will be communicated in due course.
“We appreciate the continued support from all stakeholders in Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted,” said ZimTrade in a statement.
ZimTrade is organising the event in collaboration with AB Communications, a media Holdings company in Zimbabwe.
