Czech Republic President Miloš Zeman has said he firmly believes that the relations that exist between Zambia and Czech Republic will further develop and deepen in the spirit of friendship.

President Zeman said in a message of congratulations to President Edgar Lungu on his re-election as President that the relations will also further be strengthened in the mutual interest of the two countries’ political, economic and development cooperation.

The Czech Republic President wished President Lungu good health and success in fulfilling his work for the benefit of the Zambian people.
“Excellency, may l extend to you my most sincere congratulations on your re-election as President of the Republic of Zambia,” President Zeman said.

In another congratulatory message, German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel said, with the peaceful and orderly election, the Zambian voters have once again upheld their democratic tradition.

The German Chancellor said President Lungu’s aim was now to strengthen national unity, together with all civilian and political forces, and to address the challenges Zambia is facing.

Dr Merkel acknowledged that the President has already identified the fight against poverty, energy issues, economic diversification and good governance as other important issues to tackle.

The German Chancellor echoed President Joachim Gauck’s assurance that Germany will continue to be a reliable partner for Zambia.

“Mr President, please accept my sincere congratulations on your election as President of the Republic of Zambia. I wish you every success in fulfilling the responsibilities of your high office,” the German Chancellor said.

And United States (US) Secretary of State John F. Kerry has described the re-election of President Lungu as a testament to the Zambian people that they have once again exercised their democratic right to decide who their leaders should be.

Mr Kerry in his congratulatory message to President Lungu expressed sincere hope that the governments of Zambia and US will continue to build on their deep friendship by expanding trade and investment between the two countries.

The US Secretary of State also hoped that the two countries will broaden their collaboration in health, education, economic development, security, and good governance.

The US Secretary of State is confident that President Lungu’s government will work to represent all Zambians in a spirit of unity and reconciliation, for the sake of Zambia’s economic and democratic development.

“Congratulations on your re-election as Zambia’s President. It is a testament to the people of Zambia that they have once again exercised their democratic right to decide who their leaders should be. Once again, please accept my congratulations at the start of your next term as President,” Mr Kerry said.

  1. Agony is getting cogratulatory messages from leaders abroad due to courtesy while more than half the people in your country despise you

    • Agony is despising someone who everybody other than your cult loves and they are able to show it to the world. GREEN WITH ENVY.

    • Agony is writing your own congratulatory messages when the real ones take too long to come.

      This will not change anything , Lungu is an illegal president.

    • Webo @ Spaka like lilo … 50.3% (ECL) is more than half not 47.8% (HH), shakosa insamushi. Waile kwisa ku Ecole? The smart people of the Zambian Enterprise have spoken. Cindikeni Imfumu yenu bane … don’t let ours do that for you.

      Naimwe Mama @ HH Lover Nubian Princess … lekeni talking like that. Ati Lungu is an illegal president!! I respect you a lot and I admire your brilliant smarts here but this is not you lately, you know better and you are way too smart for this.

  2. -Agony is losing 6 times
    -Agony is paying 50 000 police bond to a government you claim not to be in power.
    -Agony is 14 days elapsing,while you plead for the court to hear your case.
    -Agony is lawyers chewing huge sums of your money then boycott to represent you out of false frustration.
    -Agony is having so much Agony to an extent of wishing for war.
    -Agony is being cheated by the 3 provinces out of 10 provinces.
    Agony is HING’OMBE HILEDE.

    • Agony is causing the true leader of Zambia to go through all that due to abuse of power and electoral malpractice by a useless dull excuse of a so called lawyer. While disappointment is having you a blind cadre support the same buffoons who are causing your own relatives to suffer . While Zambia has gone back to imf to be dried alive here you are being a son of a b!tch. Please learn to be objective you galu

    • Agony is when someone call on people to rise with him to fight a legitimately elected GRZ and no one is joining him apart from fat Joe and Mad Mumba

  3. It is very strange that these messages of congratulations peddled by PF are only found on ZNBC and LT.

    nowhere else are these messages posted. Usually such announcements are posted on embassy web sites or tweet accounts or also carried in other world media.

    But no, not lungus alleged endosments , you will never find them anywhere on the Web except LT and ZNBC and daily nation
    may be they are in secrete documents.

    One can only wounder.

    • Of course they cannot be found elsewhere (or Watch Dog) because they are received through Min of Foreign Affairs. No wonder Ha Ha is being address as his excellency the president by this cadres1

    • How come all other congratulatory messages to other presidents are readily found on embassy web sites and other media on the Internet ?

      Theses messages are not meant to be secrete like in lungus case.

    • The agony is being PF and continually lying about congratulatory messages and endosments of lungu from the more than 40 heads of state invited to his inauguration and only mugabe comes……

    • Finland, Sweden demand return of donations to farmers’ union amid claims of corruption

      World Bulletin / News Desk
      Sweden and Finland on Wednesday demanded the return of $34 million from the Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU) amid allegations of misappropriation.

      David Wiking, the deputy head of bilateral development cooperation at the Swedish embassy, said audits at the union had revealed money misused and stolen by senior ZNFU officials.

      “The accounting report which the ZNFU produced when queried cannot be relied on because it is not supported by documentary evidence to support the claim and was marred with serious contradictions,” he told a news conference in Lusaka.

      Speaking on behalf of both countries, Wiking added that auditors did not have full access to accounting…

    • Agony is being a thief and stealing donar money and PF supporters don’t even see it. Stealing is what they are good at:

  4. Agony is losing 6times and claiming on all six occasions that you won.
    Agony is knowing you suffer from schizophrenia and refuse to get medical help.
    Anyway not surprising the disease process is taking it’s toll.

  5. Well, even Mr. Zeman is congratulating Lungu, very interesting and surprising. I am sure the only reason he has remembered Zambia, is because he made sure hose Czech Tourists who were locked up in Zambia were smuggled out, no one knows how they managed to get out of Zambia.
    Just a thought.

  6. Just wait for the quinine pill from IMF.You will be wishing August 11 happens again to correct the mistake you made.
