Zambia European Union Realtions

President Hakainde Hichilema has said that Zambia remains indebted for the European Union (EU) support towards the economy and governance issues.

The EU delegation meet with President HH at State House on Thursday morning, where the president stressed his commitment to recover assets lost due to corruption over the past decade. The president said that his aim is to improve the economy through the private investment that he hopes will spur growth in the long term.

The EU has praised the strides made by Zambia, to reclaim its position as a beacon of democracy in Africa, after peacefully holding the August General Election, in which the UPND Alliance emerged victorious.

The EU hopes that it will strengthen its relationship with Zambia over the coming years in areas of democracy, human rights, and economic stability.

EU Ambassador, Jacek Jankowski, said that the EU has been inspired by Zambia’s President, Hakainde Hichilema, to uphold the rule of law, which he says is a pillar of peace, trade, and investment.
