   U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is urging American companies to
   invest in Zambia, citing its 11 years of economic growth.
   Secretary Clinton's comment came Saturday during a forum with U.S. and
   Zambian business leaders in the capital, Lusaka.
   She said the U.S. wants a relationship of partnership, not patronage;
   of sustainability, not quick fixes. Clinton says the U.S. wants to
   establish a strong foundation to attract new investment and open new
   businesses.
   Secretary Clinton's five-day trip to Africa will also include stops in
   Tanzania and Ethiopia.
