It is important to open trade routes for our land-linked country which will enable Zambians to sell their products to markets on our doorstep. This creates employment and earns the country foreign exchange which will help in economic stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take seriously our role of chief diplomat for Zambia and this is the reason, we are exploring opportunities for Zambia and Zambians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward we will continue on our economic diplomacy with the remaining neighbours,\u201d he wrote. Hichilema is expected to undertake a one-day working visit to Malawi tomorrow and he will return to Zambia the same day.<\/p>\n<p>His trip comes as President Lazarus Chakwera has not been seen in public since Tuesday last week. Chakwera cancelled all local trips on 30 November following criticism over his penchant for travelling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
