'Open for All': Zambia Welcomes Global Investors for Critical Minerals Investment – Economist"We don't have preferential treatment for investors provided that a particular investor comes and opens a company in the Republic of Zambia and operates under Zambia laws and pays taxes in Zambia," Lubinda Habaazoka told Sputnik Africa. Zambia attracts strong interest from Chinese investors, who bring significant capacity and resources to the sector, while the US also signal interest in critical minerals across Africa. Still, no country would be given exclusive mining rights in Zambia, he added. According to the economist, Zambia doesn't use its natural resources, including critical minerals, as leverage in negotiations over issues such as foreign aid or healthcare support. "Zambia does not give preferential treatment to investors for any particular country. It's open for all."Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
