President Edgar Lungu is today expected in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates on a two-day working visit.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Abu Dhabi, Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji said this is the first high level interaction at Head of State level between Zambia and the United Arab Emirates.

Mr. Malanji said Zambia stands to benefit immensely from the UAE since it is a fast-moving economy.

He said during the visit, President Lungu will meet investors from Abu Dhabi Fund for Development and UAE Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Malanji notes that the Head of State will also meet investors in renewable energy as the country looks for a permanent solution to the energy deficit and its over reliance on hydro power generation.

The Foreign Affairs Minister also said President Lungu will also meet investors who have expressed interest in investing in key sectors of Zambia’s economy.

    • IMF…just in case you wondering where borrowed money and tax payers money ends…now you know….globetrotting, Building mansions and sharing among themselves PF bandits

    • The tourist. While his household starves to death and rot and die in gutters that are supposedly hospitals, he is busy touring the globe in his brand new 100million dollar gulfstream. He doesnt care one bit. As long aa he is having a party with Kaiser, Mohan, and other thugs and criminals.
      #thuglife#tillidie#lungu

    • And next you will hear that ballot papers will be printed in Dubai….Lungu wants to be Zambia’s President for life….enjoying free borrowed money and tax payers money….I hope he goes to Jail in 2021 and Kaizer Zulu should have been in Jail already…these PF bandits needs to explain to parliament how much money is wasted on every Presidential trip…local and abroad…but the majority are PF bandit MPs so they care less

    • Amid the never ending load shedding and dwindling economy under the visionless & violent PF bandits of Lungu, now Vasco Dagama ~kamwendo mu ndeke~ has gone for Black Friday.

      By the way, how much is a 25 kg bag mealie meal & charcoal today in your area?

      The Skeleton Key~206~

    • Donald Tump has cancelled all is planned trips overseas in the foreseeable future. Not even coming to the presidents cup golf tournament due to impeachment and economic constraints.

      And you have beggars globe trotting.

      For me am happy let Zambians suffer till they cant dress as majority of the country. Keep listening to Sharon and thorn in the flesh there the best. Mukachimona lol

      Just watching more popcorn Nathan Chanda Awarded US730,000 contract no experience at all in piping in the mines. Copperbelt DC admits stealing 90,000 donated by fellow jerabo thief his pleading now to give him time to pay back. Looting from all ends. Kikikikiki

      Lets Roll.

  1. So what propertys are you going to buy for urself? Can anyone ask him about the economy? Hired a private jet for shopping. Fix the economy please please.

  2. Travel safely your excellency.I wish government could be able to show the public the fruits of these trips by saying “look at that massive development in Mufumbwe which has created hundreds of jobs, it is a as result of that trip we undertook to China”. “Look at that processing plant, it is the result of a trip to Turkey” then no one would be condemning these trips. So from this trip the President is undertaking to Abu Dhabi he should be able to show us the fruits before or in 2021

    • We already know that this UAE trip is about money laundering for the campaigns. Banking money in Foreign countries so that no one questions expenditure.

    • What is massive development to you ??

      Development that can not sustain itself , that is why you are a broke country.

      Talk of massive development when you point to manufacturing plants ………

  3. But this man is so hesrtless,it’s like the suffering of the masses dont move him.We are in the farming season and as usual his assurances that farming inputs have reached the farmers has turned out not to be true,meanwhile he is the same one who assured us that mealie meal prices will go down.How?As though that is not enough there is crippling loadshedding brought about because there is no money to pay for electricity. Where did the money go?Someone advise the man just to resign 2021 is too far…

  4. There goes the ka worst president in the world, this thieving lawyer wanna be is useless as the come, Jona Kamwendo….. the w@nker is just a plain dander head

  5. WHY CAN’T INVESTORS COME HERE AND MEET WITH THE ZDA? It appears this is a private business trip deguised in Govt duties to ensure tax payers foot the bill!! IF IT IS GENUINE INVESTORS LUNGU IS MEETING,WHERE ARE ZDA,MINISTRIES OF COMMERCE AND FINANCE IN THE DELEGATION TO GUIDE ON THE DECISIONS!?

  6. Whether in the country or not makes zero difference. The only sad part is the wastage of my money on such useless trips.

  7. YOU HAVE STARTED DISCOVERYING COUNTRIES NOW??? THAT ONE WASN’T ON MY GRADE SEVEN SOCIAL STUDIES EXAM. TO BE HONEST THE DOLLAR JUST WENT TO K14.4288 THINGS ARE NOT OKAY THESE TRIPS ARE MISPLACED PRIORITIES. IF THESE TRIPS WERE BRINGING FOREIGN INVESTMENTS WE WOULD HAVE A LOT BY NOW EVEN IF CITY SAID NO AT LEAST WE WOULD HAVE A 100 YES JUST THIS YEAR. THE STRATEGIES MUST CHANGE

  8. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

    A meeting with The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority cannot be deligated for commodities in oils and other Zambia Abu Dhabi in such partnerships but yes ZDA could be involved and should be involved now or later

  9. We already know that this UAE trip is about money laundering for the campaigns. Banking money in Foreign countries so that no one questions expenditure.

  10. Aba beve, tinabwelako chabe! cant for 2021 to get this drunken inept president with his thieving cabal out of office. He has been a disgrace. He should not be let off the hook for all the thieving, mismanagement and corruption he has presided over!

  11. Welcome to Abu Dhabi, your excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu. There are many of us Zambians working here and proudly flying our Zambian flag high.

  12. OBATALA: We know you, stop cheap politics, kindly change your mind set and respect the government of the day.

  13. @Obatala:kaizer is the political advisor to the President and he’s been with him in all his trips. Whats wrong with that?

  14. Obatala, your mind is the one which is corrupt and stop attacking the government of tghe day. Learn to have have respect. Just shut your mouth nge your mind set.
