Africa must reclaim its cultural identity and transform indigenous knowledge into economic assets that drive industrialisation and regional integration, Foreign Affairs and International Trade minister Amon Murwira has said.

Murwira made the call at the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Tourism and Cultural Night held at Heritage Village, Liberation City in Harare.

The event showcased the continent’s cultural diversity while promoting exchange, tourism and cooperation among member states of the COMESA.
