SADC region set for high-level dialogue on trade justice amidst US tariff shockwaves

WINDHOEK, Namibia- A high-level regional dialogue on trade justice is set to take place in a hybrid format in Johannesburg, South Africa, today. 

The dialogue comes in the wake of the United States’ recent announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs that are set to disproportionately affect economies in the Global South.

The summit will bring together approximately 50 influential participants from across the region to confront deepening structural inequalities in global trade, according to Masenate Molapo, the manager for the Standing Committee on Trade, Industry, Finance, and Investment (TIFI) programme of the SADC Parliamentary Forum, one of the organisers.
