President Hakainde Hichilema has reaffirmed that Zambia is open for business and investment, welcoming a delegation of Chinese investors from the Zhong Minglian Group, led by Mr. Dia Benling.
The delegation expressed interest in agriculture, mining, energy, manufacturing, and healthcare, with plans to establish joint ventures alongside local partners.
President Hichilema emphasized that these sectors are critical to Zambia’s economic growth and job creation, particularly for the country’s youth.
“The state visit to China last year has already produced positive results, opening up Zambia to more investment opportunities that will directly benefit our citizens,” President Hichilema said.
He encouraged the delegation to expedite their projects and leverage Zambia’s enabling business environment.
Mr. Dia Benling noted that the delegation represents 19 companies attracted by Zambia’s favourable economic policies.
He pledged the group’s commitment to implementing investment projects and highlighted the potential for substantial economic growth and development in the country.
The visit reflects ongoing efforts by the Zambian Mission in China to attract international investors and strengthen bilateral economic ties.
Both Zambia and China are focused on fostering a conducive investment environment, promoting sustainable growth, and supporting long-term collaboration.
Government officials say Zambia is now positioned for a new era of economic expansion and development, signaling strong opportunities for investors seeking to participate in the country’s growth story.
