Zambian envoy lands
PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has reaffirmed Zambia’s commitment to maintaining strong bilateral relations that it had continued to enjoy with Malawi for the mutual benefit of the people in the two nations.
In his congratulatory message to Malawi’s President- elect, Lazarus Chakwera, Mr Lungu said his administration was committed to maintaining strong bilateral relations with Malawi under Dr Chakwera.
“Zambia and Malawi share strong brotherly bonds of friendship based on mutual respect. I, therefore, wish to take this opportunity to reaffirm my country’s commitment to maintaining strong bilateral relations that our two countries have continued to enjoy, for the mutual benefit of our two peoples,” President Lungu said.
President Lungu said in a statement issued by his press aide Isaac Chipampe yesterday that Dr Chakwera’s victory affirmed the trust and confidence the people of Malawi have in him.
“Your election is an affirmation of the trust and confidence that the people of Malawi have in your leadership qualities, which ushers in a wave of democratic change that the people of Malawi have been advocating for,” President Lungu said.
The Head of State said he looked forward to working closely with Dr Chakwera and wished him good health and prosperity for the people of Malawi.
A ZAMBIAN diplomat who has been elected third vice president of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has praised President Edgar Lungu for his relentless commitment to transforming the aviation sector in Zambia.
Vincent Banda clinched the ICAO third vice presidency at the heavily contested council committee elections in Montreal, Canada on Thursday last week 2020 and was full of praise for President Lungu for the support to his office.
Mr. Banda, who is the permanent representative of Zambia at the ICAO council and permanent representative of Sothern African Development Community (SADC) to ICAO, said his momentous election could not have come without President Lungu’s political will towards transforming the aviation sector in Zambia.
