Mrs CHANDA says the forum will bring policymakers, researchers, business leaders, and development partners to explore practical strategies for enhancing the resilience of LDCs against economic, environmental, and social shocks.

She says senior government officials, development experts, and international partners will discuss the importance of mobilizing financial resources to strengthen the resilience of LDCs in the face of economic downturns, climate-related disasters and health
mergencies.

Mrs CHANDA said Zambian and international business leaders will discuss how the private sector can drive sustainable economic growth, support green industrialization, and contribute to national resilience efforts.
