To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his Zambian counterpart since his appointment.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

Zambia is an important strategic partner with whom we engage regularly at Ministerial level on a broad range of bilateral, regional and multilateral issues. On 9th August 2024, Lord Collins of Highbury, had an introductory call with HE Mulambo Haimbe - the Zambian Foreign Minister. They discussed economic growth opportunities through the UK-Zambia Green Growth Compact, attracting private sector investment and climate resilience, including UK support for vulnerable communities amidst Zambia's severe drought.
