Namibian President Sam Nujoma has challenged SADC member states to advance citizens’ interests through active participation in the multilateral trading system.

Nujoma said that the active participation of member states in the multilateral trading system should aim at delivering a fair international trading environment.

Speaking at the official opening of the 40th Zambia International Trade Fair in July, Nujoma expressed satisfaction at the progress being made in implementing various regional protocols that provide important mechanisms for the region’s economies to promote investment including foreign direct investment.
