The leaders of Zambia and Botswana on Monday officially launched a rail and road bridge and one-stop border post that is expected to boost trade between the two countries and open another route to the sea for other landlocked southern African countries.
Zambian President Edgar Lungu and his Botswana counterpart Mokgweetsi Masisi opened the 923-metre-long Kazungula Bridge that links the town of Kazungula in Zambia with Botswana.
Lungu said the bridge and border post were conduits for further deepening regional integration in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which has pursued a free trade area initiative since 2008.
