Lusaka: Zambia will host the India-Southern Africa Regional Conclave Summit aimed at bolstering economic ties between India and Africa.
According to Christopher Yaluma, minister of commerce, trade, and industry, the two-day summit starting on Monday has attracted 221 companies who have already confirmed their participation.
He briefed that the summit will help Zambia acquire knowledge on how big economies like India manage to grow.
Zambian President Edgar Lungu will officially open the summit where Zambia will play host on behalf of the Southern African Development Community, he added.
