Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has emphasized the importance of African nations coming together to foster economic growth.

Speaking at the 56th Session of the Economic Commission for Africa Conference of African ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development in Victoria Falls, Ncube urged countries to remove barriers hindering intra-African trade and industrial development.
