It was stated that the Cassacatiza-Chanida border crossing will act as a common border point where travelers as well as commodities will carry out all formalities in one place. This will help in minimizing costs as well as reduce delays between the two countries.
Transport and Logistics Minister of Mozambique, João Jorge Matlombe, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Zambia, Mulambo Haimbe, stressed that the new initiative will comply with international best practice. They stated that this will help southern Africa become more competitive in international markets.
Agreement Strengthens Regional Corridors
This agreement also supports the overall process of doing a Beira/Nacala corridors upgrade of the roads between Zambia’s inland industries and the seaports in Mozambique. These corridors are of great importance in connecting producers/exporters to international markets.
By optimizing logistics and coordinating digital systems, both countries will be able to develop safer and more reliable corridors. This will promote private investment in the region.
Authorities consider the Cassacatiza—Chanida crossing a model that can be replicated in southern Africa. This project showcases how countries in a region can turn shared borders into a engine that drives integration.
