CZECH Republic Pledges to Invest 3 Million Euros in Zambia Every Year Till 2030

Czech Republic has pledge to invest 3 million Euros per year, equivalent to K86.7 million, in various sectors of Zambia from 2024 until 2030, as the nation has been prioritized in the European country’s Development Cooperation.

Czech Ambassador to Zambia Pavel Prochazka, said his government is investing in Zambia’s education, health, nutrition and many other sectors to promote development.

Speaking at the Czech National Day in Lusaka, Mr. Prochazka stated that Zambia has been prioritized because it stood with the Czech people when the former Soviet Union occupied the country.

He noted that former President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda spoke against Soviet aggression and the country has remained consistent on international order.

Mr. Prochazka added that the Czech Republic appreciates the warm relations the country shares with Zambia.

Meanwhile, Technology and Science Minister Felix Mutati has paid tribute to the Czech Republic for placing Zambia on its priority list in development cooperation.

Mr. Mutati noted that the Czech Republic has been an all-weather friend, further thanking the country for supporting Zambia in various sectors.
