President Hakainde Hichilema has urged Zambians living in the diaspora to be patriotic and invest in their country.
The media reports that President Hichilema said Zambians must love their country regardless of where they are living and working from.
The President said the economic climate in Zambia is suitable for investment in various sectors of the economy.
He was speaking when he met Zambians living in Ethiopia.
He said his administration has managed to stabilise the micro economic fundamentals and is now on the economic growth trajectory.
The President implored Zambians living in Ethiopia, many of whom work in international organisations, to invest and prepare for their return back home.
And the President’s Economic Advisor, Pamela Nakamba said the government managed to rationalise spending to ensure no sector suffered during the difficult times.
Dr Nakamba said Zambia’s economy is now on the upswing, noting that many opportunities are available for investments.
Meanwhile, representative of Zambians living in Ethiopia, Moombe Hamaundu said Zambians would always endeavor to uphold the reputation of their country in diaspora.
Mr Hamaundu thanked President Hichilema for meeting Zambians in the diaspora.
We are always patriotic. Have you ever heard a Zambian diss his country anywhere? Even Mwamba, Kaizer and that Petauke mp all never condem the lovely copper country
Thank you Mr President. For ridding our streets of those PF thugs.
Gary Nkombo too. No more forced kacasu drinking.
