We had the honour of hosting Mr. Aliko

Dangote, Chairman of the Dangote Group of

Companies, at State House. We extend our sincere congratulations to Mr. Dangote for his remarkable achievements and exemplary leadership in African enterprise. His success story stands as a testament to the power of vision, determination, and the boundless potential of the African continent.

Our discussions focused on expanding the scope of the Dangote Group's investments in Zambia, particularly in the energy sector, with the objective of fostering job creation, industrial growth, and economic diversification. Zambia welcomes such partnerships that align with our national development agenda and contribute to sustainable progress.

We reaffirm our government's commitment to maintaining a stable, transparent, and investor friendly environment that enables the private sector to thrive. We look forward to continued collaboration with the Dangote Group as we work together to unlock new opportunities for our people and strengthen Africa's shared journey toward prosperity and self-reliance.

Hakainde Hichilema,

President of the Republic of Zambia.
