Zambia has used the opening of the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81) to pursue new diplomatic partnerships aimed at expanding markets, investment and economic opportunities.
Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Mr Mulambo Haimbe, who is representing President Hakainde Hichilema at UNGA81 in New York, has established diplomatic relations with Uruguay and Vanuatu.
The two agreements are expected to open avenues for cooperation in areas including agriculture, trade and investment, climate change, eco-tourism and cultural exchanges.
Haimbe says Zambia’s diplomacy must contribute directly to the country’s economic growth.
Zambia has also held bilateral talks with Malawi and Cuba, focusing on trade, investment, infrastructure, energy and connectivity, as well as continued cooperation in health and education.
