President Hakainde Hichilema expressed his deep honor as the guest of honor at the launch ceremony of the Muchila Smart Village Project in Namwala District today. This groundbreaking initiative aims to advance rural development through digital innovation and was made possible through the support of Huawei Technologies Zambia.
“We extend our sincere gratitude to Huawei Technologies Zambia for their support, which aligns with our government’s digital agenda to bring development to rural areas,” President Hichilema stated.
The Smart Village model, which includes a communication tower and a solar system capable of powering numerous homes, exemplifies the strong bilateral relations between Zambia and China. These relations were further strengthened during President Hichilema’s meeting with President Xi Jinping and Huawei Technologies in China last year. The Muchila model is set to be replicated in 100 other rural and remote sites across Zambia.
