Assistant Secretary Kansteiner Dedicates Southern Africa Trade Hub for Global Competitiveness



Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Walter H. Kansteiner III speaks at dedication of the Southern Africa Trade Hub for Global Competitiveness

Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Walter H. Kansteiner III visits Gaborone, Botswana on May 8 to help dedicate the Southern Africa Trade Hub for Global Competitiveness, one of three such centers in sub-Saharan Africa. During his dedication remarks, Assistant Kansteiner said that in October 2001, President Bush at the African Growth and Opportunity Act Forum announced the U.S. would open trade centers to encourage Africa to export goods all over the world. Joining the other two Competitiveness Hubs in Ghana and Kenya, the new Hub in Botswana would help get all of sub-Saharan Africa to better prepare its goods and services to compete in world markets: Europe, Intra-Africa, North America, and the Far East.
