VICE- President of India Venkaiah Naidu says Zambia is attractive for credible investment.
“I wish to call on Indian investors to invest in Zambia especially in agriculture, Mr. Naidu said, because of massive land and the Country housing 60 percent of fresh water resources in the region.”

“May I also call on Zambia to take advantage of India’s strong solar energy technology and further encouraged the Country to ratify International Solar Alliance- ISA membership,” the Vice President said.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Patrick Matibini said he took pride in seeing investments such as the Zesco/Tata joint projects, Taj Pamodzi Hotel, Vedanta which ran Konkola Copper Mines, Indo Zambia Bank, decongestion of Lusaka Roads project, among others.
And Speaker of the Lok Sabha (Lower House) Sumitra Mahajan invited the National Assembly of Zambia to send young officers especially graduates to India for short term training to promote skills development.
And Dr. Matibini said India remained consistent in skills development cooperation through Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) which saw most Zambians benefit.
“The team is in India for benchmarking especially that the Country has the lengthiest constitution and is a biggest democracy in the world with the Lower House having 545 Members of Parliament,” Justice Matibini said.
