President Banda arrives in Brazil

President Rupiah Banda has arrived in Sao Paulo, Brazil for a three day State visit.The President arrived at Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International airport at 22:51 hrs Zambian time monday.

His visit to Brazil is in response to the invitation by Brazilian President Luiz Inacia Lula Da Silva in July this year, when he visited Zambia.

Among the activities on President Banda’s programme is a visit to Dedini, a major company dealing in bio-fuels. He will also address a Zambia-Brazil business forum, which has been organized by the Federation of Industries of the State of Sao Paulo.

The President will wednesday leave Sao Paulo for the capital city Brasilia for a ceremonial welcome, and talks with President Da Silva.

President Banda is also expected to meet the President-elect, Dilma Rousseff who will be sworn-in in January next year, to become Brazil’s first female president.

During the President’s visit, Zambia and Brazil will sign more agreements, which will add to the eight agreements and two Memoranda of Understanding which the two countries signed in Lusaka in July this year.President Banda is expected to depart from Brazil on Thursday.

  1. Wow, again! Zambians in Zambia I beg for you to do something about this, take action, go to the airport when he is about to leave and protest that he stays in the country. you are being abused by this president. Absolute nonsense.

  2. So what bussiness do they want to do? Those brazilians are good at building power plants and biofuel technology. Biofuels can be grown in zambia, maybee we can have half our vehicles running on them so we are less dependent on petrol. Thats what all advanced countries are thinking of these days.

  3. This is a good trip that will benefit the nation. We are behind you Mr. President.

  4. Did you hear the list of people who welcomed HUMPTY DUMPTY in Brazil. All of the mentioned expect Brazilian Ambassador to Zambia were Zambians. It shows just how even foreign Heads of states have started seeing HUMPTY DUMPTY as a liability. Shame on him and his supporters

  5. Hope the challanger runs out of fuel in the middle of Atlantic ocean…then our moneies can be saved

  6. just gone to watch SAMBA dance, like he does in swaziland. Hope he learns that democratically elected presidents are not sworn in 6 hours after voting.

  7. Ama pilot baleunfwa fye bwino. Kaili more flying hours. Am sure he will be in Botswana over the next few days for the SADC Summit coz he has to give a report as leader of the “troika”. RB, chaume!!!!!!!!!!

  8. It’s understandable,from chikochikala at the field people call a farm to a plane in state house,wa vi onela nji?
