Attending Comesa summit: Mutharika

Being held under the theme Towards Digital Economic Integration, the summit aims to underscore the importance of positioning the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) as a knowledge, learning and innovation hub and integrating the region into global digital economy.

The programmers for digital integration would include e-market access programmes where online business transactions would be encouraged, e-logistics where delivery of goods (courier) would be developed, electronic certificate of origin development, and development of a legal framework on digitisation that would recognise electronic transactions.

Among other things, the summit expects to appoint a new secretary general of Comesa.

The tenure of the current secretary general Sindiso Ngwenya comes to an end on July 31 2018 after serving two- five-year terms.

Five candidates from Ethiopia, Kenya, Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Sudan, and Zambia were interviewed, and a recommendation made by a panel of five countries which was chaired by Malawi.

The summit will also have a consideration session of the 38th meeting of the council of ministers.
