🇳🇦 We’re in Windhoek as official media partners for the 2025 Commonwealth Business Summit, the first time this flagship gathering is being held on African soil.

🎙️ Straight after the opening panel, we caught up with Chris Southworth (ICC United Kingdom), who called The Commonwealth a “bastion for the trading system,” connecting economies and opportunities, and reinforcing the role of multilateralism in global trade.

🏦 There is drive for intra-Commonwealth trade to reach $2 trillion by 2030, but this will demand action: from digitising trade systems to unlocking finance for MSMEs and delivering bankable, investable projects across all 56 member states.
