Shimunza stated that these efforts were in response to President Hakainde Hichilema’s call for positive contributions to Zambia’s economy.
In a statement issued in Lusaka on Saturday, Shimunza noted that these initiatives also followed the recent Presidential visit to China, during which several Memoranda of Understanding were signed with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
