President Hakainde Hichilema arrived safely in Cairo, Egypt, for an official State Visit at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The visit is expected to strengthen bilateral relations and foster economic cooperation between the two nations.
“We look forward to fruitful engagements that benefit our citizens,” President Hichilema stated upon arrival.
As part of his itinerary, President Hichilema toured Egypt’s newly constructed Administrative Capital for Urban Development, a large-scale infrastructure project that includes government offices and residential housing units.
“It was gratifying to learn that such a gigantic and iconic infrastructure has been developed by private sector players, without any funding from the government treasury,” he remarked. “This is the kind of innovation and model we are aggressively pursuing under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) financing arrangement.”
President Hichilema emphasized the importance of private sector participation in financing capital projects to ease pressure on national treasuries, allowing governments to allocate more resources to critical social sectors such as health and education.
The State Visit is expected to include high-level discussions on trade, investment, and development cooperation between Zambia and Egypt.
Kulu munjila…. I hope from Egypt he can now focus on resolving the crippling blackouts, among other urgent needs.
Ba LT is telling us that HH arrived safely. Im sure they will also tell us when he arrives unsafely
Can Zambians see the benefits of these bilateral agreements?
Wasn’t he there recently ??
Surely it would have been more benificial to have extended his stay then ?
Yayi Bambo ask the copperbelt guys they will tell you “Amanone ba HH balefwaya amanoneeee!”
The journeyman. He does not pay a dime. Our overtravelled tourist. Did he use his, our, or a chartered plane paid by Lazy Zambians? Lazy Zambians back home have never taken such journeys. For four years the same Lazy Zambians have not benefited from these trips. Will they?
I wish the first lady had travelled as well she missed the trip to Japan, Ncwala, and now this one as well …awe carry her with you…
There’s no fixed model for development
Each country must use what fits the local environment. Dr Kaunda did his best but we let him and also himself -by stealing from companies and by appointing party stewarts to over see these companies respectively. HH can watch Japan, China, Indian etc it won’t work like magic for our quest to develop Zambia.
Has any of these presidents Hichilema visits ever visited Zambia? 2026 is only a few months away and the man has every key performance indicators in the negatives. Is he not supposed to be sitting down with his ministers to address the electricity, fuel, exchange rate, inflation, high cost of living issues that this country is facing. That is why his MPs are walking away from parliament because the head is rotten.
Who really is at fault here ??
Shouldn’t we be suggesting we need an alternative choice for 2026
intead of negative comments day in and day out ?
Is that the Minister of Water with the President in Egypt? Eishhhh…….leaving the water crisis at home(Kitwe) and fly out abroad!!
Within one month he was in Japan, Ethiopia and now Egypt, when would this man have time to be at hope to attend to all these problems of loadshedding, flooding etc?
