HH Unlocks Trade & Investment Opportunities With China

Great business opportunities to look out for, as Zambia and the People's Republic of China hold their first-ever trade and investment forum aimed at further unlocking and leveraging the trade and investment potential between the two countries.

Of particular interest is the need for value addition for our Zambian products as that is the sure way to get the best out of our natural resources. It will create jobs and improve our economy through business partnerships that benefit our citizens.

The Trade and Investment Forum will be held in Lusaka, from Sept. 28-29, under the theme "China-Zambia investment in the new era, all-weather, all-diversion, and quality friendship".

We look forward to signing memoranda of understanding for great investment cooperation, digital economy investment, as well as investment and economic working group treatment.

The core essence of the forum is to implement the outcome of a phone conversation we had with His Excellency Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China this year, and also advance the People's Republic of China-Zambia relations, standing through practical economic cooperation. This is part of our aggressive efforts to attract more investment into Zambia and spur economic growth which is vital for development and private sector job creation.

Zambia is open to business once again!
