The Cabinet Minister says his Ministry will do everything possible to expedite cooperation between Zambia and Nepal in the interest of industrializing the two countries.

And Zambia's Ambassador Extra Ordinary and Plenipotentiary to Nepal on a non -residential basis, Judith Kapijimpanga, say President Edgar Lungu wants to work with countries such as Nepal to industrialise Zambia.

Mrs. Kapijimpanga has since urged the business community of Nepal to take part in this year's Zambia Agriculture and Commercial Show as well other international exhibitions in order to explore business opportunities in Zambia.

This is contained in a statement made available by First Secretary Press and Tourism at the Zambian Mission in India, Bangwe Naviley.
