would have a positive trickle-down effect such as capacity building and technological transfer to the local people.<\/p><p>The Minister said this when Zambia\u2019s Ambassador to Japan Dr. Tobias Mulimbika paid a courtesy call on him at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan today.<\/p><p>Dr. Mulimbika expressed gratitude for the cooperation between the two countries that dates back to 1964.<\/p><p>He said the Embassy of the Republic of Zambia in Tokyo highly values the cordial relationship between Zambia and Japan as evidenced by the continued cooperation in various sectors of the economy.<\/p><p>Dr. Mulimbika also revealed that the Zambian Mission in Japan is making strides in the promotion of investment in the mining sector.<\/p><p>The Ambassador revealed that he will lead a total of ten companies from the mining sector in Japan accompanied by Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) of Japan Mr. Yasutoshi Nishimura, Officials from the Japan Organisation for
