Share

President Hakainde Hichilema hosted a delegation from Saudi Arabia, led by Abdulrahman bin Khalid Albalushi, Undersecretary in the Ministry of Mineral Resources Management, at State House. The delegation is attending the ongoing inaugural Mining and Investment Insaka in Lusaka.

President Hichilema expressed gratitude for Saudi Arabia’s support, including the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Hospital under construction in Lusaka. The discussions focused on joint investments in sectors like mining, energy, tourism, and agriculture, with a commitment to ensuring that Zambians benefit from natural resource endowment through value addition.

The President highlighted Zambia’s eagerness to learn from Saudi Arabia’s successful management of its natural resources, such as oil and gas, to improve the welfare of its citizens.

  1. Signing efforts appreciated the past 3 years but concern is the trickle down effect to the common man which is taking for ever to materialise if it will ever will

  2. It’s always making headlines in Zambia about
    a delegation arrived for New investments.Just
    To give hope to Zambians.As we have seen in
    The past with all the pledges nothing much
    Seen as we are still experiencing twenty hours
    Of load shedding.

  3. My concern is where is all the power going to come from ?
    Plus where ever these delegations go they have power 24/7 at the expense of others EG: Emergency loadsgedding
