In his meetings with President Hichilema, Zambian counterparts, including Minister of Commerce and Industry Felix C. Kakubo, and other officials, Minister Lipavský explored various areas of partnership. The discussions encompassed economic diplomacy, the formulation of a new cooperation program for the period 2024-2030, Czechia’s support in the health sector and medical evacuation capabilities, agricultural cooperation, and addressing geopolitical concerns, such as Russian aggression. The leaders expressed their determination to develop an action plan to guide future collaboration in these areas.

President Hichilema stressed the importance of mutually beneficial ventures, particularly in the fields of technology and agricultural mechanization, as they have the potential to create employment opportunities and foster innovative economies. He also emphasized the need for locally produced medicines to meet the demands of both the domestic and regional markets.

In a joint effort to promote healthcare, Minister Lipavský, accompanied by Minister of Health Sylvia T. Masebo, presented cutting-edge medical gynecological and obstetric equipment generously donated by Czech companies associated with the Association of Czech Medical Device Suppliers. The donation comprises a fully equipped gynecological examination room, delivery room, neonatal intensive care unit, and hospital beds.
