Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Mulambo Haimbe says implementation of the Treaty for the promotion and protection of investment between Zambia and Japan must be expedited.

Mr. Haimbe says President Hakainde Hichilema has successfully managed to reset Zambia’s longstanding historical relations with Japan.

He says President Hichilema’s trip to Japan reaffirmed the political commitment required to enhance bilateral cooperation between Zambia and Japan for the mutual benefit of the two countries and peoples.

The Foreign Affairs Minister said this in the National Assembly today when he delivered a Ministerial Statement on the official working visit of President Hichilema to Japan this year.

Mr. HAIMBE said the President will continue to undertake State visits to different countries to explore trade and investment opportunities for the country.
