MINISTER of Finance and National Planning Situmbeko Musokotwane says government is open to more trade and investment between the United Kingdom and Zambia.

Dr Musokotwane says the United Kingdom and the Zambian government have long standing cooperation with the UK having several investments in the country.

He said this when British Trade Commissioner, Alastair Long and British High Commissioner Rebecca Terzeon paid a courtesy call on him at his office where they had a cordial discussion to enhance cooperation and open investment opportunities for Zambia.

“This comes at a time when the focus in Zambia is how to get the economy to grow so that young people can get jobs as well as business opportunities for Zambians,” he said.

And British Trade Commissioner, Alastair Long, said the United Kingdom is committed to investing and contributing to the Grow Zambia Agenda.

Mr Long noted that Zambia has great potential to grow with the coming of the Grow Zambia Agenda being spearheaded by President Hakainde Hichilema.

And British High Commissioner to Zambia, Rebecca Terzeon said UK will continue to invest in Zambia saying British international investments in the country date back to many decades ago.
