The sectors of ports and maritime transport in Africa will hold an indaba (meeting) in December in the eastern South Africa port of Durban to discussing how best to improve their individual and collective performances as part the continent’s regional economic integration efforts, according to the Noticias newspaper here on Tuesday.
The daily said that experts and operators of the industry will convene the indaba to table management issues and the sustainable exploitation of the potential the transport sector offers to the continent’s economy.
The paper reported that the meeting was considered as one of the most important annual events that Africa has been promoting in recent years, and the Durban gathering would be held under the theme, "Connecting the Ports to the Corridors to Strengthen Regional Integration," in recognition of the importance of an efficient link in providing infrastructure that could play in facilitating trade between countries and improving the quality of life of local communities.
During the conference, several presentations will be made by industry experts and representatives of international partners and organisations on the current challenges, particularly at this stage that the world is facing an economic downturn.
