GERMANY TO GIVE ZAMBIA AN ADDITIONAL €7M AS SUPPORT…€46.8 ALREADY AGREED UPON
Today at State House, we met the German Chancellor’s Personal Representative for Africa, Mr. Gunter Nooke and German Ambassador to Zambia, Her Excellency Anne Wagner – Mitchell, to discuss a wide range of issues that centred around development partnership, Zambian debt and democracy.
Mr. Nooke shared Germany’s plans to provide an additional €7 million as support in recognition of Zambia’s peaceful and democratic transition and also to further our government’s progressive reform programme.
During his visit, Mr. Nooke signed several agreements worth €46.8 million with Finance Minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane, for assistance in food security, nutrition and access to clean water among many other matters.
We reaffirmed to the German Chancellor’s Personal Representative, the New Dawn Administration’s resolve, to aggressively tackle corruption and its offshoots, while promoting the rule of law, transparency, social justice and human rights.
