Share

President Hakainde Hichilema has expressed satisfaction with the progress made by PowerChina International in supporting Zambia’s water resource management and improving the country’s energy sector.

During a meeting at State House with a delegation led by PowerChina International Chairman Chen Guanfu, President Hichilema emphasized the importance of developing a long-term master plan to streamline resource allocation and prioritize key initiatives. He noted that such a plan would ensure effective implementation of projects in energy, water management, and agriculture.

The President also commended the ongoing collaboration between the government and PowerChina, underscoring the benefits of joint efforts to tackle challenges in critical sectors.

Minister of Agriculture Mtolo Phiri revealed that PowerChina has expressed interest in entering into a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with Zambia to boost productivity in agriculture. Among the proposed initiatives is the development of a modern agricultural industrial park. The government has suggested demonstration sites, including the Zambia National Service Mumba farm and Lusankaba farm in Mkushi District, for the project.

Chairman Chen Guanfu expressed optimism about enhanced cooperation between the two nations, particularly in addressing drought and ensuring stable electricity supply. He outlined plans for the next phase of PowerChina’s engagement in Zambia, which he believes will further strengthen ties and deliver tangible results.

The meeting highlights Zambia’s commitment to fostering strategic partnerships aimed at driving sustainable development and addressing critical challenges in energy, water, and agriculture.

  1. Enough of the talking/meetings; let’s end the crippling blackouts forthwith. I just hope these Chinese deals will not end up as subjects in the financial crimes court in the next political season!

  2. The late Chakomboka in his campaigns used to tell us that he knew where oil and other commodities were and if elected he would reveal the places. We should have given him the chance.

  3. Everyday we see delegation meeting at State House but one year has passed but no progress in load shedding hours.All the investment coming in mines but No reduction
    At exchange rate.

    • load shedding was something the PF should have ended. The over borrowed for infrastructure and spent little to end load shedding. The billions PF borrowed if utilized well could have given us another big Hydro apart from the ancient one we have. Now you have to overburden someone with not only paying the debt you left but has to fix loadshedding with no borrowing capacity
