Share

President Hakainde Hichilema warmly welcomed a delegation from the American Jewish Committee (AJC), led by its Chairperson, Stanley Bergman, in Lusaka. The visit underscores Zambia’s commitment to strengthening ties with international communities, including influential groups within the United States.

During the discussions, President Hichilema extended his congratulations to the American people and President-elect Donald J. Trump on the recent U.S. elections. Stressing Zambia’s dedication to global peace, he highlighted the essential role of stability in fostering economic growth and development. “Instability anywhere is instability everywhere,” President Hichilema remarked, underscoring the broader implications of regional peace on global prosperity.

The President invited the American Jewish Committee to explore partnerships and investment opportunities in Zambia’s core economic sectors—agriculture, mining, and energy—aiming to catalyze economic growth. “By joining hands with the American Jewish Committee and engaging in these sectors, we can bring accelerated development that benefits both Zambia and its partners,” he noted.

President Hichilema reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fostering a stable environment for investment, highlighting Zambia’s role in promoting regional stability as a foundation for sustainable economic progress. The AJC delegation’s visit is seen as a potential precursor to strengthening trade and diplomatic ties between Zambia and influential economic stakeholders in the U.S., supporting Zambia’s long-term development vision.

    • IN my journalism class we had lessons on cliches and how to avoid them otherwise you bore the audience. Now you reporters are boring Tikki here and still getting your salaries. Robbery!

    • I lost my job and there was no hope for me. I suffered looking for a job and luckily I came across Mr Bernie Doran on a review about Forex, NFT, Binary, and Crypto trade. I borrowed $1000 from a colleague to invest with his trade platform , thank goodness I made a profit of $12,000 on the first week, reinvested 5000, and withdrew the remaining balance directly to my bank account. I was able to pay my friend, and convinced her to invest as well. I’m very grateful to him for helping me
      manage my trading account. I will advise all of you who want recover your lost funds and to invest for the future and a better tomorrow should start with Mr Bernie Doran

  1. The Jewish communities have a duty to distance themselves from the radical Zionist movement that’s responsible for the genocide in Palestine.

    • Impossible. Most jews who have done that have been extremely isolated and cant come anywhere near government. Check out Rabbi Weiss There’s Haredi groups which do not only oppose Zionism, but also do not recognize the State of Israel.

  2. Only call for global peace after ensuring you have applied effort to attain local peace in Zambia. Only HH and ECL can lower the political temperature in the country which is an ingredient for peace. The fact that the two do not talk or see eye to eye sends a very bad signal to their cadres. Let peace be deliberately pushed so that development can follow

    • Both are self opinionated individuals
      It wont happen
      Besides that we need an opposition whoever that maybe for checks and balances

  3. Jews don’t like Trump. HH should have been advised before hand and that’s the reason they came because Trump won and they want to leave the US. I don’t think they are coming back how do you congratulate them for Trump’s win?

    • Absolutely, Spaka. It’s clear that there isn’t any migration of Jews toward Zambia. While there may be interest in investments, the desire for one on one relationship with the head of state it’s primarily driven by a need to safeguard their interests against the threat of state expropriation, which is all too prevalent in Africa.

    • Jews and peace? tranquility? money Yes. They are bloodthirsty and dont hesitate to pull the trigger. They were in apartheid South Africa and most likely contributed to Pretoria’s nuclear weaponry.

  5. Thank you Jewish community for remembering visiting Zambia. During Second world war, Zambia was your first point of settlement and that was on the Copperbelt Province until you were taken-up by USA to await to officially place you where you are now. The idea which was going round was that Katanga and Copperbelt was going to be given to the Jews as ISREAL. USA objected and them to America. In 1948 a settlement was found as it is today.

  6. @Ayatollah, its terrorists Hamas palestanians who killed innocent party cerebrating Israelis. Hamas killed and raped women, children captured more than 200 Israelis still not seen todate. Palestenians danced in all world cities at Hamas barbaric butchery of Israelis. The world was quiet and never condemned Hamas terrorists. You know what! Israel has to exist and defend itself. The world should advise Hamas terrorists to do the right thing, to stop the suffering of innocent Palestanians.

  7. Mr. Presido, do not open your alms to all. Some are not worth it. They are here just because you had visits from progressive people and will not miss an opportunity to be there. Never be a book of condolences where even vipers sign.
