[Vedanta response to SCIAF, Christian Aid, Action for Southern Africa report on its mining operations in Zambia

As a major long-term investor in Zambia and a partner with the Zambian government in KCM [Konkola Copper Mines (joint venture Vedanta Resources, Zambia Copper Investments & ZCCM Investments)], we are keen to ensure that the country reaps the benefits of its mining industry. Although we feel that the report is in some ways misleading (see page 2) and does not reflect the views either of the Government of Zambia, or of companies investing there, we welcome its aims of sharing the benefits of development and will pay attention to its recommendations.
