Zambian Goverment excpecting to receive serious investors in Zambia

President Edgar Lungu has said that the Zambian Government is looking forward to receiving serious investors into the country who will respect the national values, investors who will not abrogate labour laws, and investors who are not only interested in profit-making, but those who are willing to plough back in communities where they operate from.

The President said this in Solwezi Monday morning when he officially opened the Expo North West Zambia 2019 under the theme; “Unveiling the hidden treasures.”

The President said government is also committed to accelerating economic development by supporting initiatives, which are aimed at attracting both local and foreign investors.

President Lungu said the expo is for Zambia to exploit, and unlock the investment potential that North Western Province presents in various sectors.

“I urge all investors to interact freely during this expo to secure good investment deals, and long lasting synergies, as you seek investment opportunities in this province, and Zambia as a whole. This event is an opportunity for the private sector to leverage natural resources that this province offers to set up industries here,” he urged.

“We in the PF government believe that the private sector is a catalyst to supporting our quest to improving the lives of our people through wealth and employment creation in line with the vision 2030. In this regard, the North West Expo provides vast opportunities for potential investors to sample the enormous prospectives that north western province has to offer in all sectors of our economy.”

President Lungu stated that North Western Province is endowed with tremendous investment prospects in mineral, oil and gas exploration, large and small scale mining, manufacturing and processing, including, canning, alternative and renewable energy, agriculture, livestock and fisheries, forestry and tourism, just to mention but a few.
