The two-day symposium organized by the Canada NRM Chapter, led by the Chairperson, Mr. Fred Kinene, brought together over 300 individuals, including high-profile government officials, NRM supporters & well-wishers, potential investors, and experts from across the world.
Structured around promoting sustainable tourism, agro-processing and industrialisation, experts reflected on the NRM party’s achievements, emphasizing the need to foster effective engagement between the NRM party and its Diaspora supporters.
