Arlington, VA – Today, Enoh T. Ebong, Acting Director of the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, led a U.S. Presidential delegation to Zambia that will attend the inauguration of President-elect Hakainde Hichilema on Tuesday, August 24.
“The people of Zambia exercised their political rights and voted in historic numbers in Zambia’s August 12 general elections.
