The 58th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) guest of honour, Namibian President Hage Geingob has arrived in Harare.

He is due to  officially open the exhibition  in Bulawayo on Friday.

This year's trade fair is running under the theme, "Harnessing Linkages for Industrial Development,".

Upon arrival, Geingob inspected a quarter guard mounted by the Presidential Guard, ZBC reported.

 

 A state banquet will be held in his honour this evening.

During his state visit,  Geingob is expected to visit Kariba Hydro Project which is under construction.

Zimbabwe has a power agreement with Namibia.

In 2007, Zesa and NamPower entered into a deal in which the Namibian power utility made available funds towards the refurbishment of the Hwange power station and in return Zesa was supposed to deliver 150 MW of power daily to NamPower for five years.
