The event will take place at the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, London SW1A 0AA.
Ms. Mojela stated, “There is great potential for the African cannabis industry given our continent’s population of over a billion people with abundant land and natural resources. The Kingdom of Lesotho has taken a lead in this and that has positioned Bophelo to take advantage of the growing demand for GMP grade cannabis in the EU and other regions. Beyond the financial opportunity though, the I am excited by the potential this industry has to provide jobs and social benefits to our citizens including educational opportunities to the underprivileged.”
On Tuesday June 25th the Hon. Monyane Moleleki Deputy Prime Minister of Lesotho will deliver a keynote speech at Cannabis Europa. He will be preceded by the Hon. Prime Minister of Malta Joseph Muscat, who will be speaking on the opportunities for economic development and public health improvement allowed by the regulation of medical cannabis. The keynote addresses will take place at Queen Elizabeth Hall (Main Stage) at Southbank Centre Address: Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, Lambeth, London SE1 8XX.
Mr. Moleleki commented on his participation stating, “I look forward to discussing the current state of Lesotho’s cannabis industry and how we expect our regulations and legal industry to enable many benefits both social and economic. The cannabis industry is a significant development that should benefit the global cannabis market on the whole. With added strength from Halo Labs and commitment to EU GMP manufacturing, we look forward to the expansion of cultivation, production, and sales originating in our country. We anticipate Bophelo Bioscience to be an economic and socially responsible contributor to Lesotho and to have a positive impact on job creation and local opportunities for our citizens.”
