Fellow citizens,
We have departed for the United Kingdom to attend the coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla at Westminster Abbey on 6th May 2023.
Tomorrow, on 5th May 2023, we will participate in the Pre-Coronation Summit of the Commonwealth Heads of States and Government, with His Majesty King Charles III, the Head of the Commonwealth.
Following this, we will travel to Paris to hold bilateral discussions with His Excellency Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, as part of our efforts to expedite Zambia's debt restructuring process.
Furthermore, we will visit Scotland to hold bilateral talks with His Excellency Mr. Humza Yousaf, the First Minister of Scotland. While there, we will deliver a keynote address at Edinburgh's Panmure House to share our experience in Zambia's economic development agenda. We will also meet with key stakeholders in investment at Heriot Watt University to discuss various matters, including our passion for offering free education to Zambian youths.
Finally, we will be honored to attend the Zambia Investment Forum, which has been organized by Invest Africa and the Zambia Development Agency.
We look forward to a productive trip and will keep you informed of our progress.
Hakainde Hichilema,
President of the Republic of Zambia.
