Zimbabwe to host SADC parliamentary session

Zimbabwe said Tuesday it had been selected to host the 26th Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Forum of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), according to a PANA report. It said the session, to be held next week, would cover issues such as regional trade, investment, integration and gender.

Officials said regional business executives and leaders of civic organisations were also expected to attend the session, to be held in the resort town of Victoria Falls.

The SADC Parliamentary Forum was established in 2007 to debate common regional goals, particularly integration.

Officials said most of the group's 14-member countries were expected to take part in the session.
