Lusaka, Zambia, 12th June 2025 – The Zambia Development Agency (ZDA), with the support of the Lobito Corridor Project under the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry, is pleased to announce the upcoming Trade Mission and Solo Exhibition to Luanda, Angola, scheduled to take place from 24th to 26th July, 2025.

This strategic initiative is aimed at strengthening trade ties between Zambia and Angola, capitalising on existing Bilateral Trade Agreements and key infrastructural developments such as the Lobito Corridor.

In recent years, trade between the two nations has shown promising growth, with Zambia’s exports to Angola reaching $8.46 million. With the right platforms and engagements, this figure is poised to rise, thanks to the proximity of the two countries and the enabling trade frameworks already in place.

The Trade Mission will feature a Solo Exhibition by Zambian companies as well as pre-scheduled Business-to-Business (B2B) meetings with potential Angolan importers, distributors, and business partners. Each participating company will be provided with an exhibition cubicle (including a table and chair) and access to an interpreter to facilitate effective communication.

ZDA invites Zambian companies from all sectors to seize this opportunity to explore and expand into the Angolan market. Interested companies must confirm their participation by June 30, 2025, to enable the Agency to coordinate B2B meetings in a timely and efficient manner.

While participants will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation, ZDA will offer logistical support by freight forwarding up to 20 kilograms of exhibition samples per company.

This mission is not only an opportunity to showcase Zambian products and services but also a vital platform for fostering long-term business relationships between the private sectors of both countries.

The Agency is targeting 50 export-ready Zambian companies to be part of the trade mission.
