In as far as regional integration is concerned, Botswana and Namibia have an immense responsibility to contribute to SADC tenets of promoting self-sustaining development and inter-dependence among Member States. In this regard, we must steadfastly endeavour to conclude regional projects, such as the Trans-Kalahari Railway Line, Water Desalination plant, as well as the One-Stop Border Posts at the Mamuno and the Trans-Kalahari border posts, to further contribute to the SADC Agenda, while also fostering socio-economic development of our two countries.
