The Government is ready to support the National Competitiveness Commission so that it focuses on competitive strategy, which is key in guiding national policy formulation, President Mnangagwa has said.

The Head of State and Government said this while delivering his keynote address at the inaugural Competitive Summit organised by the National Competitiveness Commission in Bulawayo.

“It is pleasing to note that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, through the National Competitiveness Commission, will focus on developing a National Competitiveness Strategy this year which will be instrumental in guiding national policy formulation,” he said.

“Government stands ready to lend you as much support as possible on this very noble endeavour.

“The inaugural competitive summit has therefore come at a very opportune moment for us. I would like to take this opportunity to urge the Commission to leverage the invaluable networks it presents.”

The summit provides a platform for stakeholders to reflect on strategies to enhance competitiveness in the country and come up with resolutions for presentation to the Government.

Today’s event was attended by Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Cabinet Ministers, among other senior Government officials.
