Zambia’s Ambassador to Egypt, who is among the attendees, emphasised the importance of turning investment plans into real progress. He said, "Attending the conference for me is about seeing how this whole arrangement of investments becomes reality on the ground in Zambia.”

The conference represents a significant milestone in Zambia’s efforts to attract sustainable investment and foster long-term economic growth.
