President Boko stated that any official discussions or business deals concerning Botswana’s resources should happen within the country.
He said:
"If there is any business or official engagement to discuss, it should take place in Botswana, not abroad. Botswana is tired of traveling abroad for deals that concern its own resources. If there is genuine interest in our resources, come to Botswana so we can talk business. Let us respect the basic principle of commerce: buyers should go to the sellers. If the situation is reversed, then the buyer’s interest is not truly valuable."
The move highlights Botswana’s determination to maintain control over its resources and insist that international partners engage on its terms, reinforcing the country’s focus on sovereignty and fair trade.
