Governance and Development Advocates Zambia has welcomed the move by COMESA Heads of State and Governments to confer and bestow President Hakainde Hichilema with the Chairmanship of COMESA authority, taking over from President Abdel Fattah el Sisi of Egypt
Executive Director Elias Mulenga says this move is a milestone not only for Zambia but the African continent at large to benefit from the vast experience and exposure that Presdient Hichilema has built in the recent past with the international cooperating communities and partners in trade finance and investment particularly for the African region.
Mr. Mulenga recognises the need for President Hichilema to tackle many challenges faced by the continent especially with regard to emerging issues on climate change regional value addition to move away from the export of raw materials and the need to create wealth, development and jobs for the continent.
