Zambian High Commissioner accredited to India Judith Kapijimpanga has advised Indian Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs ) to partner with their Zambian counterparts for benchmarking.
Ms Kapijimpanga praised the Indian government over the growth of the SME sector which is contributing effectively to the growth of the economy.
The High Commissioner says as SMEs are the engines where large corporations emerge from, therefore Zambia is benchmarking from the growth path of the Indian SME sector for jobs creation.
Ms Kapijimpanga said this when she officiated at the SMEBIZZ Entrepreneur’s Award 2021 in New Delhi, India.
She further invited the business community to invest in Zambia because of political stability, peace and democracy.
Ms. Kapijimpanga said Zambia had investment guarantees and security, abundant natural resources presenting an excellent investment and trade opportunities.
She said the country had a private sector driven Government Economic Policy in place and attractive investment incentives.
This is contained in a statement made available to Zanis by First Secretary Press at Zambia High Commission in India Bangwe Chisenga.in Lusaka today.
This Judith Kapijimpanga must be living in dreamland …you seriously think an Indian SME would partner with a Zambian when they are not even obligated to do so…if you want them to partner lobby the govt to set up policies. Just look at the Chink construction companies wining GRZ contracts and offering Zambian contractors 10% of their own money only in Zambia with no skills transfer.
Throw away meritocracy and these are the results
When will we stop crying for investors. Rather give incentives and an enabling environment for Zambians to invest.
Why are there no indians in that picture ??
“She further invited the business community to invest in Zambia because of political stability, peace and democracy.”
This woman thinks investors are stupid…really laughable…look at the KCM Vs Vandatta debacle where KCM being run into the ground by Lungu’s goons asset stripping gone crazy …plus how do you talk of benchmarking in a partnership really laughable.
Why are all upnd members ugly. Please name one good looking upnd member if you don’t agree. These people are ugly.
Indians are very greedy People partnering with them won’t work infact we have alot of them in Zambia already they would rather milk you than to partner with you
