Paul Kabuswe Advocates for Mining Partnerships to Elevate Zambia as a Regional Value-Addition Hub
Minister Paul Kabuswe Urges Mining Industry to Transform Zambia into a Regional Value-Addition Hub
Minister of Mines and Minerals Development, Hon. Paul Kabuswe, has urged industry leaders and investors to transform dialogue into actionable projects that will elevate Zambia from a mining country into a regional hub for value addition.
Speaking at a networking cocktail during the Mining and Investment Insaka on Monday evening in Lusaka, Minister Kabuswe underscored the government’s vision of building a mining sector that not only extracts minerals but also refines them locally — creating jobs and driving sustainable economic growth.
“Your presence here reflects the collective determination we share to transform Zambia’s mining landscape and unlock its full investment potential,” he told a gathering of investors, policymakers, and industry executives.
The Minister emphasised that informal discussions at such events often spark partnerships that translate into tangible investments and innovations. He encouraged attendees to foster a spirit of collaboration and action ahead of the official opening of the Insaka by President Hakainde Hichilema on Thursday.
“Let the relationships formed here tonight continue in boardrooms and project sites, turning dialogue into delivery — delivery that drives value creation, job opportunities, and sustained economic growth for our nation,” Minister Kabuswe concluded.
