He said that Mr Hichilema had been effective and efficient in mobilising human resources, capital and technology to spur national development.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bwalya noted that the country\u2019s foreign policy transition since the UPND government took over office in August 2021 had enhanced economic diplomacy in Zambia\u2019s pursuit for benefits accruing from her place in the international community.<\/p>\n<p>He said President Hichilema\u2019s international goodwill, support and engagement had continued to attract investment from abroad and places Zambia at the international scene as a credible and viable investment destination. Mr Bwalya reiterated that accolades bestowed upon President Hichilema, including the most recent one as Africa\u2019s political leader of the Year 2022 by the United Kingdom\u2019 Africa Media Agency (AMA), was evident of his hard work and the restoration of Zambia\u2019s positive image with the international community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an institute of foreign relations we take pride at the positive image that our nation is receiving internationally.
