Mr Kalaba said when construction of Kazungula Bridge is completed, transportation of goods and people between the two countries will significantly improve.

“Zambia and Botswana have enjoyed strong bilateral ties for decades and the Kazungula Bridge will deepen the relationship between the two countries,” he said.
