MINISTER of Foreign Affairs Harry Kalaba has arrived in the United States of America on a bilateral visit during which he is expected to meet with former US President George W. Bush.
The minister will visit California, Texas and Washington DC.
According to Zambia’s Ambassador to the US Palan Mulonda, the minister will have several engagements while in America, where he will meet civic and national leaders as well as several business leaders.
Ambassador Mulonda said this when he received Mr Kalaba at Dulles International Airport in Washington DC on Sunday.
“We hope that the minister will engage with several civic leaders, national leaders within the US as one way of further strengthening our excellent relations with the US. In California, he will have the honour of being honoured by a county of Los Angeles and in addition to that, he will have the opportunity of visiting some of the facilities that are peculiar to that part of the US,” Mr Mulonda said.
“The minister is scheduled to meet with President George W. Bush. As you know, President George Bush and the Bush Centre are heavily involved in the fight against cervical cancer within Zambia.”
Mr Mulonda said the minister will pay a courtesy call on Mr Bush in addition to meeting business leaders in Texas.
He hoped that the Minister of Foreign Affairs will wind down the trip with meetings at State Department, which is an equivalent of Foreign Affairs Ministry in Zambia, and is expected to meet heads of division.
Ba Kalaba,
Bombesheni ukukonka ulupapulo wa chalo ukupitila na Bible.
Thanxx
Zambia Zambia… from first Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Kapwepwe to such a Harry Kalaba.
Shudda-up you black woman. It’s always better to keep your beak shut if you have nothing to offer.
Meet a former president when others are meeting serving president Obama. Then later meet heads of department in the ministry and not even Secretary of State John Kerry. Ba Zambia
Obama can’t waste his presious time meeting people like kalaba who is just like a ward councilor in USA.
What The Efff!?? Are we still in that silly age when kissing the ground that your hero has walked means something? Come on guys! Wisen up. In any case, it should be the Minister of Foreign Affairs meeting GW on such matters, and not Foreign Affairs! I shudder to imagine how far behind (the behind) Zambian mindsets still are if this is even news worthy!
It should be the Minister of HEALTH meeting GW and not the Minister of Foreign Affairs!! See how perplexed I am!
Sounds like a tourism venture
kwena nomba ichalo chapwa, does this gw bush know who he is meeting……if i had his cell number i could have called him and advised him to do something else than meet this chap…..he will be wasting his time…..coz am a nobody but a spy but i cant waste tax payers money meeting this kalaba chap.
LIFE IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS , IT IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE…… i know ba former saint clements will know what the joke there is
Kalaba, USA today got no time for Zambia. Zambia got no oil to offer USA, they can get through China, more cheaper to them and refined. So, never hope for any US investment in Zed.
At least he is meeting former president most of you guys negatively commenting you will never have any opportunity to meet even the least servant of gw bush
So why is this news?
Another waste of taxpayers’ money!
Iwe Kalaba, tell Bush that the current situation in Iraq with Islamic state and them is HIS FAULT!!!
Is this really news? Anyway, most of us are from the compounds where we ran around the streets and boasting at school that my brother or uncle went to london…..and all those in group 4 will come and think you are great muntu. And at the end of the day the whole compound will know that uja mwana wabaja anaenda ku Kalale.
If this clown Bush ASKED to see me I would refuse!
He is the one that FCUKED up Iraq and Syria, and put the world into recession, and has now left the world with his heap of SH!T!
Anyway, maybe two F00LS will enjoy each others company. But why should the Zambian Taxpayer pay for it????
yangu uyu mwana meeting bush! Wapalwa mune one day you will be lessing to our country. Respect every Zambian regardless of tribe or political party.
I know the interest Bush has in Zambia! Uranium mineral, so plse be aware?
Hehehehe,he is meeting Bush and heads of whatever,why not Obama and Kerry? It 7eaks volumes!
Atase! You dwell in mediocricy,shame wasting our money to see old dogs and state dept underdogs.braaaaaaagh!!
