By Brian Mwale

Presidential Special Advisor for Finance and Investments JITO KAYUMBA says Government is engaging various stakeholders at the Mining Indaba in South Africa in line with meeting its aspirations of increasing annual copper production to 3-million metric tonne in the next decade.

Mr. KAYUMBA says Government is keen on engaging stakeholders with the expertise, capital and interest in investing in Zambia.

He has told ZNBC News in an interview in Cape Town that Government is also looking at repositioning Zambia in addition to the 1.3 billion dollars investments set aside by First Quantum Minerals to expand operations.

Mr. KAYUMBA says government is also looking at attracting new investments in the mining sector which is key in job creation and value addition.

He however states that all this is being done with consideration of the private sector that is key in the supply chain.
