The 24-member Zambian delegation to the JPC inaugural session will be headed by George K. Zulu, Foreign Affairs permanent secretary. Other members include members of the trade, energy, and economics departments.
“The meeting is very important. Both the Zambian and Saudi delegates want a win-win situation in the wake of the JPC meeting,” Zambian Ambassador Ibrahim Mumba said in an exclusive interview on Thursday.
Mumba said, “We drew up a Zambian plan to be presented during the meeting. It covers cooperation on health, tourism, investment, science and technology and tourism, among other aspects.”
“The JPC committee is very important indeed. There’s much at stake and we’re looking forward to a favorable outcome,” Mumba concluded.
It is worth noting that the Zambia stands to benefit from Saudi assistance and the Kingdom could potentially benefit from Zambia’s 14.5 million people as a new market for its products, such as petrochemicals and other investments.
