Senegal President Macky Sall Set To Officially Open 2023 ZITF

The President of Senegal, Macky Sall, is set to officially open this year’s Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) which will run from 25 to 29 April 2023.

Writing in his latest weekly column in The Sunday Mail, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, said:

… We will be hosting the President of Senegal, His Excellency, Macky Sall, who is billed to open our Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, ZITF, in Bulawayo.

It will be Sall’s first visit to Zimbabwe since his election as the President of Senegal in 2012.

Mnangagwa was also in Dakar, Senegal in January this year to attend the 2 Feed Africa Summit.

The 2023 edition of the ZITF will also be the first time in the past few years that the trade exhibition has been officially opened by a foreign head of state.

The 2021 and 2022 editions were officially opened by President Mnangagwa.

The 2022 edition was billed to be officially opened by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta but he cancelled his visit following the death of Kenya’s former President Mwai Kibaki.

This year’s edition of the ZITF will run under the theme: “Continuous innovation, Global competitiveness”.
