THE new dawn government under the stewardship of President Hakainde Hichilema will continue
promoting trade and investment because it’s key to unlocking social and economic development, says

He said the UPND’s economic policy is aimed at transforming the country.
Mr Imenda was speaking during a side meeting with Zambia’s Acting High Commissioner to South Africa

He said Zambia under the UPND Government has become a destination of choice for Foreign Direct
Investments (FDIs) because of the conducive business environment.
Mr Imenda said trade and investment play an important role in the promotion of economic
development and that Government wants to promote trade and investment and that maintaining sound
bilateral relations with other countries is key in maintaining the economic transformation momentum
alive.
And Zambia’s Acting High Commissioner to South Africa Inonge Mwenya reiterated the Mission’s
commitment to playing its part in ensuring enhanced ties between Zambia and South Africa across
