President of Tanzania Jakaya Kikwete has left Zambia for his country after a two days state visit at the invitation of President Edgar Lungu.

Before his departure at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, Dr. Kikwete inspected a guard of honour mounted in his honour by the Zambia Army.

He was seen off by President Lungu, First Lady Esther Lungu, Lusaka Province Minister Obvious Mwaliteta, Minister of Justice Ngosa Simbyakula and Zambia’s High Commissioner to Tanzania Judith Kapijimpanga and service chiefs.

The plane carrying President Kikwete left Kenneth Kaunda International Airport at exactly 11:33 hours Zambia time for Tanzania.
During his visit, President Kikwete held private talks with President Lungu and with Zambia’s first President Kenneth Kaunda.

He also laid wreaths at graves of late Presidents Levy Mwanawasa and Michael Sata and late former President Fredrick Chiluba.

  1. If you remove the names Tanzania and Kikwete from the report what remains is the master copy used at airport to just fill in the blanks the names of the visiting president.
    Africa is Africa, what did Kikwete go to Zambia for?

  2. What have they discussed concerning the dying company Tazara ? I m happy that KK one of the remaining founders of Tazara was present during the crucial talks.

  3. Thank you for the visit sir. Our big regards to the good people of Tanzania. Come back soon. God bless you and your country. Meanwhile VIVA ECL!!!
