Ms Shingal said this is achieved through business education and training, mentoring and networking, among others. And addressing the delegation, Zambia’s High Commissioner to India Judith Kapinjimpanga said Zambia remains the best destination for trade and tourism because of peace spanning from 1964 when the country became independent.
