President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA says Anglo American Corporation has renewed its interest to invest in the mining sector after close to 20 years of their exit.

President HICHILEMA says to achieve the kind of win – win investment environment, continuous dialogue on the policy and legal frameworks for the sector, remains key.

He says Government is working closely with the Chamber of Mines to ensure that ZAMBIA has the right mining investment environment, supported by the right policy and legal frameworks for the benefit of the people.
