Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo have agreed to address issues related to operations at the Kasumbalesa border post to enhance trade between the two countries, said Republican President Hakainde Hichilema. President Hichilema made the announcement during a bilateral meeting with President Felix Antoine Tshisekedi of the DRC on the sidelines of the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed with my brother and counterpart that we quickly improve operations at the border in order to accelerate the conveyance of goods between our two countries without losing much time,\u201d said President Hichilema. He expressed his delight with Tshisekedi\u2019s assurance that now is the time for action and not just mere talk and that he will engage his team to address the issue once and for all.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema is in Addis Ababa participating in the 36th Ordinary Session of The Assembly of the African Union. The session is considering several matters, including the draft agenda, draft decisions and declarations of the Assembly for adoption, examining the strategic status reports on the Institutional Reforms of the AU, and studying the activities of the Peace and Security Council (PSC), the Report on Global Political, Financial and Energy Policy Governance, and that on Global Food Crisis and the AU\u2019s response on Covid-19 pandemic in Africa.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with other Heads of State and conduct sideline meetings with various business leaders, cooperating partners, and stakeholders in Zambia and the African Continent\u2019s Transformational Agenda. Hichilema has previously stated that he is Zambia\u2019s chief marketing officer, and as a result of the trips he has undertaken in the past, there have been investment pledges made. Zambia\u2019s mining industry has already received a boost with First Quantum Minerals board of directors\u2019 approval of the S3 Expansion at Kansanshi mine and the Enterprise nickel project in North-Western Province.<\/p>\n
