The fates of our two nations are closely intertwined, as demonstrated by our numerous joint collaborative projects in the economic sphere. Zimbabwe’s success is Zambia’s success and vice versa.

I am in Uganda for the Ministerial meeting of the 19th Non Aligned Movement Summit. NAM, which counts the majority of countries in the world as its members, is an important voice as we navigate the multiple and complex global challenges that confront us today.

After a fruitful visit to Türkiye, I am excited by the keen interest in what Zimbabwe has to offer. I'm encouraged by the rapidly growing trade between us. In various interactions, I shared my vision of growing the value of our trade to $USD 100 million as a start. We can do it!
