VJ hails China

Share

Parliamentary Chief Whip Vernon Mwaanga has thanked the government of China for supporting Zambia’s development efforts through various avenues including the transfer of technology.

Mr. Mwaanga says the relations between Zambia and China have continued to grow for the last forty-five years.

He was speaking in Shanghai after a delegation of Parliamentarians, government officials and town clerks visited the Shanghai Caohejing Hi-Tech Park Development Corporation.

The institution is responsible for a number of scientific and technological innovations that have contributed to the economic growth in China.

And Chanler Wang an official at the centre advised Zambia to invite foreign investors to set up companies in the country as the first step towards the establishment of hi-tech parks.

Mr. Chanler said without science and technology it is not possible for any country to develop.

Meanwhile, Zambia’s Ambassador to China Lupando Mwape has called on the business community to support the government as Zambia prepares to participate in the Shanghai World Expo 2010.

Mr. Mwape said the Zambian flag has already been mounted at the Expo 2010 venue in Shanghai, as a confirmation that the country will take part in the event scheduled for May next year.

The theme for the Shanghai Expo 2010 is “A Better City, a Better Life”.

  1. #1 teti mpape.he’s like a bad rash that just refuses to go away.elyo these Chinese that we have started liking…i really get a bad feeling about the future,utu bantu utu twaliba crafty.lol.mukadabwa sana.

  2. # 3 KWINDI KODJO,

    The alarmist is Zambian national based in China.I picked that lie and immediately reached Hon.Mwaanga from here in the US to China.He is well and working well on Government trip.We have since reached out to The Chinese Government to track the alarmist and grind him.to fight this malicious politics, he must be deported right now for such politics in Zambia.

  3. Sounds good but Mr VJ Mwaanga, your “Parliamentary Chief Whip Vernon Mwaanga has thanked the government of China for supporting Zambia’s development efforts through various avenues including the transfer of technology” is false unless you back it up with credible proof. What technology transfer has China sent to Zambia? Is China training some Zambians to manufacture or develop require capabilities of certain equipment that China has taken to Zambia?

    As for “Mr. Chanler said without science and technology it is not possible for any country to develop“, this is very correct and so tell that Zambia cohort to take education especially in science and technology courses seriously.

    As for from Vice Pres. to Ambass. , sad.

  5. LONG LIVE VJ BUT PLEASE STAY AWAY FRM ELECTIONS COME 2011.IF NOT IT WONT BE THE MONKEY THIS TIME IT WIL BE ZAMBIANS DOING THE PEEING ON U!!.

  6. Zedchic101 you are very right. Ala ichalo tuleya tuleshitisha fye panono panono…. Those mines and whatever the investments batushila fye change. VJ chimudala is the country’s most serious liability for the backwardness, corruption,drug trafficking,lies and not to forget RIGGING mwe bantu. The chap was caught up in lies in Congo but goddamn it he came back. Tamada!

  7. Zedchic101 you are very right. Those so called mines and investments are just leaving us change as our income. We’ve sold the country.

  8. Elo VJ,the Man is a liablitiy to the country’s corruption,backwardness,poverty, drug curtails, lies and RIGGING. The Man was caught up with his lies in the Congo DR but he bounced back. This govt is so unpopular that monkeys at STATE HOUSE have started showing their dismay at the occupant by peeing anyhow. 😀

  9. Guys, we got a problem. VJ belongs not to Civics but History in our books. Am sick and tired and VJ and his old cloonies. His way of thinking is definately different from yours and this age. He needs to be confined to his backyard as he seemingly can not retire. IS HE THAT BROKE THAT HE CAN NOT JUST LEAVE ON HIS SAVINGS, or does he spent all the money he gets on WOMEN. To Hell with VJ

  10. VJ has a huge responsibility to clear his name over his involvement in vote rigging both in Zambia and in neighbouring countries. There is no doubt in my mind that such allegations may be true. While I do not wish anyone dead, anyone who steals from the wishes of the people is as good as a dead man.

  11. 13 Mwewa Mukabe greetings. On your “VJ belongs not to Civics but History in our books. Am sick and tired and VJ and his old cloonies. His way of thinking is definately different from yours and this age.”, VJ (Stanford Uni., USA) is only 66 years old while President RB Banda (MA, Sweden) and Sata (Grade 2/6, unknown) are 73 and 72 or so respectively.

    The above ages indicate that VJ Mwaanga is still in even for the President of Zambia race in 2011 and 2016.

    Have a blessed day.

  12. Hon.Mwaanga at 65 with perfect education armed with most impressive public service by any standards is constitutionally a useful asset to the country where the Executive find his services critical. The man has vast experience not only as a high – profile career diplomat but also as a seasoned politician who has grown serving Zambians both locally and internationally in senior positions, This is the man on unbeatable record as being the youngest Zambian to be assigned a foreign diplomatic position! He was only 20. Your jealous out, he is a complete strategic and critical thinker you your fathers and clans joined will never match.Ask yourselves why your fathers have aged failures?He may have human failures but God has kept him to serve and prepare young patriots behind the the scenes.

  13. Take it or not, Hon. Mwaanga’s experience as a diplomat and politician is arguably unmatched having worked under all four presidents since independence in 1964. This citizen who excelled in International Relations and Public Finance studies at, Institute for Commonwealth Studies, Oxford University, England
    And indeed in International Relations – Multilateral Diplomacy at Hunter College, New York knowledge he has heavily ploughed in the Zambian system. What have you or father done other than blogging insults 24/7? Where is your future and where do you see yourself 20 years along the way of blogging lies? What public service role can you numerate as having involved yourself in?

  14. #17 & 18 Serious, I agree with you 100%. People like #7 Fagge are the ones we should worry about being alive because their minds are clogged with hatred which blurs the slightest opportunity to gauge a difference between a dream and reality. Even when people say elections have been rigged, we should have been getting ideas how rigging happens from Mr Sata, an experienced politician who just like VJ has been in politics for long time. How is the rigging done which Mr Sata can’t point out outrightly if he was there when Chiluba won the 1991 and 1996 elections apart from the frogs he used to vote against in KK’s era? We should not give that tag “rigger” tag nor should we wish he was dead.

  16. “Vernon Mwaanga has thanked the government of China for supporting Zambia’s development efforts through various avenues including the transfer of technology.” Yes we can talk of technology transfer but what should be emphasised for Zambia is a matching level of technology difussion otherwise whatever technology we will import we’ll continue failing to maintatin it due to supporting entities such as spare part manufacturers and qualified personnel to make use of such technologies meaningfully.

  17. Correction last sentence” due to lack of supporting entities such as spare part manufacturers and qualified personnel to make use of such technologies meaningfully”.

  18. Pa Zed things are run like a circus. This guy should be confined to the archives but he is still active!. These Chinese guys will soon over run our country if we are not careful. They are after our wealth and our weak policies and hopeless government make it easy for them.
