DR CONGO AND ZAMBIA REACH AGREEMENT TO DECONGEST KASUMBALESA BORDER POST: DAILY TRUCK LIMIT AND EXTENDED WORK HOURS INTRODUCED
By Pumba Kasongo
In a collaborative effort to ease congestion at the Kasumbalesa border post, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia have reached a significant agreement aimed at streamlining cross-border trade. As part of this new measure, a limit of 500 trucks will be allowed to cross into DR Congo daily. This cap is expected to reduce long queues and improve the efficiency of goods transportation between the two nations.
Additionally, the two countries have agreed to increase working hours at the border, further facilitating the movement of goods and reducing delays. This initiative underscores the ongoing commitment of both governments to boost regional trade and improve border operations.
Authorities from both sides have expressed optimism that these measures will enhance logistics and promote economic growth by ensuring smoother and faster transit for traders and transporters.
