Industries are the backbone of any national government. They are the major drivers of a nation’s economic growth. They are also responsible or improving the social, technological and political strengths of the country. At the same time, these industries are also the major reasons behind pollution, nature’s degradation as well as corruption. Therefore, it is essential for the government and the industries to come together from time to time and discuss on the burning questions. Majority of the developed nations across the globe have achieved numerous feats with these events and all the emerging and developing nations are following similar suits. In Zambia, the African Summit is a similar event which is being conducted annually. The summit presents a platform for industrialists and corporate to come together and share their ideas and innovations for improving the social, technological and economic strengths of the nation as well as reduce the limitations.

The 2017 Annual African Summit was a successful event, with the participation of numerous industrialists and corporate houses. After the closure of the event, a press release was shared by the Chief Press Secretary of the Prison Fellowship International, which organized the event. The secretary thanked Dr. Rajan Mahtani for his significant funding for the event, resulting in its success. Dr. Mahtani is a noted businessman and philanthropist with more than four decades years of business experience in Zambia and also across the globe. His companies outside Zambia, such as those in the United Kingdom, have helped in bringing foreign investments in Zambia and boost the economic prosperity of the nation. Furthermore, his companies in Zambia are known for their transparent and honest business practices. Dr. Rajan Mahtani himself follows a similar path and even though he is constantly conspired by corrupt politicians and businessmen, he has never engaged in similar pursuit to gain an advantage.

The Chief Secretary also thanked Dr. Mahtani for his participation in the event.
