Mr. Woolley was speaking in Lusaka last night at the occasion of her majesty Queen Elizabeth\u2019s 96th birthday and 70th Anniversary rule. And Mr. Woolley said the British government is impressed that the 2021 General Election demonstrated the maturity of Zambia\u2019s democracy because it was a peaceful transition of party.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Energy Minister Peter Kapala said Zambia and United Kingdom Government has enjoyed good bilateral relations for a long time. Mr. Kapala said Britain is one of the major investors in Energy, Agriculture, Mining, Education, Health, Climate change among others.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the investment in the energy sector will contribute to sustainable electricity strategic plan for generation and transmission infrastructure.<\/p>\n
