Africa-Press – Zambia. Earlier today, we joined fellow Global leaders and other delegates in attending the official opening of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability week here in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The conference is focused on ensuring increased investment in renewable energy as an alternative to traditional sources such as wood fuel and hydro, that has been adversely affected by negative effects of climate change.
It was also a great honour to meet and hold bilateral talks with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates.
We thanked His Highness for his leadership in ensuring that Zambian institutions partnered with their UAE counterparts in multimillion dollar investments in the Energy, Agriculture, Mining and Technology sectors.
In expressing gratitude between our two countries and on the need to further deepen our existing relationship, Zambia shall open a permanent Embassy in the UAE to address the increased trade and opportunities between our countries for the benefit of our citizens.
The rapid development of the UAE, particularly in recent years, is a huge lesson for countries such as ours on how we can improve the quality of life for our citizens using our local resources while tapping on outside capital, skills and expertise.
We value your continued support, and we shall do everything possible and within our means to address these challenges that our country has been facing for decades.
