President Edgar Lungu will be among 500 delegates, comprising heads of state, NGOs and governments who are attending the Uganda Solidarity Summit on Refugees in Kampala Uganda.

And Zambia’s Deputy High Commissioner to Uganda Lawrence Njobvu says Zambia has a lot to learn from Uganda on dealing with issues of refugees.

Mr Njobvu says the Uganda solidarity summit on refugees will provide a platform for countries like Zambia which have been hosting refugees for a long time to increase its focus on challenges facing displaced persons.

He has told ZNBC news in Kampala that President Lungu who is expected to arrive Thursday morning will visit one refugee settlement before attending a high level policy dialogue on Friday.

President Lungu has been invited to attend the summit by his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni.

The Ugandan solidarity summit on refugees is being co- hosted by President MUSEVENI and the United Nations Commissioner for refugees.

Uganda hosts over 1.2 million refugees, the highest in Africa.

Mr Njobvu said the Ugandan government has a good policy of reintegration of refugees which is now moving towards empowering them with land.

He said Zambia which has also been hosting refugees for a long time will share it’s experiences at the summit.

Zambia hosts over 59 thousand refugees, mainly from Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola.

    • Wisdom no. Why settle for second best when you can send the full monty?

      This will strengthen bilateral talks and that’s what you like all Zambians want.

      Zambian men are all backwards I hate them . They don’t see things they should.

      Thanks

    • What difference does it make, whether he is home or away? He still can make decisions even when he’s away. That’s why Dora told you that it’s called the Ministry of Agriculture, and not the Ministry of Dora.

    • Visionless Edgar is a tourist showcase!

      From Lesotho,Lungu came only to change clothes after meeting Dictator Kagame of Rwanda & he is now off to Uganda to meet dictator Museveni. After Uganda trip, tourist Edgar will briefly come to Zambia to bath & change clothes on his way to visit dictator Kagame in Rwanda. In Uganda & Rwanda~ visionless Edgar will be learning how to persecute political opponents & people with dissent views from PF bandits!
      Uko~external debt is now $17.2 billion from $6.9 billion 6months ago. How much is mealie meal?

    • Something highly potent is brewing up in the east, first yesterday he was send off his visitor kagame, today he is going to meet museveni, ask the Congolese how these east Africans have messed up DRC, the moment late laurent kabila forged Alliances with, congo jump from the frying pan into the fire.

    • Does this surely require the so called president to travel! i tend to wonder the job of ministers in PF government because even the opening of a toilet has to be done by president Edgar Lungu. Museveni is very busy inculcating the laws of the jungle in Lungu

    • I think it’s high time is Zambians sat down our Head of State and lecture him on some of these things. Edwaudo dos Santos heads one of the riches countries on the African continent but it’s rare that you hear him travelling out of Luanda to attend these useless conferences! He uses his Ministers and Diplomats for such low rates meeting. This Conference that Mr Lungu is going for could have been attended by either Kampyongo or the High Commissioner in Tanzania accredited to Uganda! Kampyongo or the High Commissioner could just easily be given Credentials to present to the Conference and voila!

    • Quote of the century.

      When someone is using a dog to bark at you, never make the mistake of barking back at it, you will just reduce yourself to level of that dog.

      His royal highness
      …………..
      …………..

      Fill in the blanks.

  1. Are the suspended UPND legislators invited to the Uganda refugee summit? They are refugees from Zambian parliament afterall.

    • The devil is you without a heart. Whether you like it or not God will always be with ECL. No matter how much evil you wish him, God is his protector.

    • And the man has done completely nothing apart from enriching himself. Time will catch up ba Lungu, Even in your grave we will arrest you. Us youths are suffering, no jobs, cost of living is very high but you are busy trotting the world yielding nothing beneficial for this country. when our time comes you will face the law

    • Ya! Would you say the same when your kid goes to the toilet and messes up can’t even flush, just fold your hands and say it’s his time, everybody goes to the toilet. Ubu ndiye bupuba wa chifita, even when chishala chizula panyumba ati awe it’s our time.

  2. Lungu is going there to seek advice on how to proceed with the Fake Treason Case. Things are not working out as originally planned. Zambians are up in arms and are resisting Lungu’s emerging Dictatorship and they want HH released from Jail unconditionally and for Dialogue to begin. The 3 Church Mother Bodies have rebuked Lungu’s Dictatorship and also want HH released from Jail. The International Community has condemned Lungu for the rising Dictatorship and for incarcerating HH on Trumped Up Treason Charges. Lungu has divided the Nation and people are angry with him. The Zambian economy is collapsing as Foreign Financiers and Donors stay away from Zambia. With a debt of $17.2 billion Zambia is now bankrupt and with the current political crisis there is no solution in sight. Which way…

  3. There is the Lazy Bum on another trip for airmiles…just the other day the fooool was signing secruity agreements with Rwandan Dictator putting the lives of Rwandan refugees and families at risk in Zambia.
    Waste of space!!

  4. Some cadres here obviously don’t work. Those who work please tell us how an organization can function efficiently when every week the boss is not in the office.

  5. Looks like there is a shrine in Uganda which presidents visit?The reason for traveling is not convincing given that the presido has just come from Lesotho.

  6. He needs to give press briefings at the airport. If he stops travelling, we won’t get any briefings.
