The Forbes Border Post has successfully transitioned to full 24-hour operations, serving a total of 51 commercial trucks and 105 individuals on its first night of round-the-clock service. This significant development comes as a result of collaborative efforts between Zimbabwean and Mozambican authorities.
The decision to upgrade Forbes Border Post to 24-hour operations is a strategic move aimed at enhancing trade and travel facilitation between the two countries. With the border post now operating continuously, it is expected to significantly reduce congestion and waiting times for cross-border traders and travelers.
In addition to Forbes Border Post, the neighboring Machipanda border post has also commenced 24-hour operations, marking a significant milestone in bilateral cooperation between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. This synchronised effort is set to streamline trade and travel activities, further bolstering economic ties between the two nations.
The successful roll-out of 24-hour operations at Forbes and Machipanda border posts is a testament to the commitment and dedication of both Zimbabwean and Mozambican authorities. It reflects a shared vision to promote regional integration and economic development through enhanced border management and facilitation.
The increased operational hours at the border posts are expected to have a positive impact on the movement of goods and people, providing a boost to cross-border trade and tourism. Furthermore, the initiative is set to create opportunities for increased economic activities and greater regional connectivity.
As the Forbes and Machipanda border posts continue to operate round-the-clock, stakeholders and the public alike can look forward to improved efficiency and convenience in cross-border movements. This significant milestone underscores the ongoing efforts to foster closer ties and cooperation between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, ultimately contributing to the prosperity and growth of both nations.
