Zambia’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe Emmanuel Chenda says President Mnangagwa’s administration is committed to improving the livelihoods of its people and Zambia will give Zimbabwe maximum support.
Mr. Chenda made the remarks last Thursday after paying a courtesy call on Vice President Constantino Chiwenga at his Munhumutapa Offices.
“The Government wants to ensure the people’s lives are enhanced and we commend them for that,” he said.
“Indeed Zimbabwe is open for business and we are strengthening our relations not only at government to government, but at people to people level also.”
Ambassador Chenda said no country was more connected to Zambia than Zimbabwe.
“We are connected by all major means of transport that is rail, air and road at the shortest possible time,” he said.
“My coming here is meant to strengthen our bilateral relationships. Economic development cannot be sustained unless there are strong bilateral relations. We have discussed economic, social, cultural and infrastructure development issues.”
He said one of the projects they had discussed was the Batoka power project.
“Both countries are in dire need of energy and industrialisation. Energy is key to that and it is our sincere hope that within the shortest possible time this project will take off.”
He added: “We also discussed the Lion’s Den-Kafue railway line which will be constructed and shorten the route to our alternative ports. All these are issues which will ensure the two countries develop economically and offer better opportunities and lives to our people.”
So Jonathan sent Muzokera to his country of origin as Ambassador? We now await his own deportation as citizen of Malawi. Kikikiki
Nkalani chabe imwe. You’ve failed to improve your own peoples lives, now you think you can help Zimbos?
Zambia is 3rd hungriest country, even worse than Zimbabwe in it’s worst state.
what support can we give to Zim? are we not the 3rd most hungriest nation in the world?
Ati 3rd hungriest nation. That’s under5 propaganda. Well it’s under5s like you who can believe that lie. Zambia has been exporting food maize to neighbouring countries which are hungry.
Typical of negativity from number 1 and 2. Yes we can and we have to if you understand diplomacy and international relation. Remember Zambia is central coupled with docility we may attract serious investments and become a hub of manufacturing and supply other countries in the region and the rest of Africa.
Ummm yama,ati hub of manufacturing?Zambia has always been in it’s plac since independence.Talk about shopping malls i will agree with you
ZAMBIA READY TO HELP ZIMBABWE WHEN YOU CAN NOT EVEN MANAGE TO NEGOTIATE THE LOANS WITH IMF. BIG HEADED FOR NOTHING.
The statement sounds so obvious. Its not worth reporting.
Why are some people so negative about their own country simply because we don’t have somebody of their kind in State House? This is being very petty. Zambia and Zimbabwe have been friends for years and you expect them to help each other.
This reminds me of a time in recent past when the ANC of South Africa asked Zambia to find out how they managed the nationalisation of the mines programme. Our immediate reaction was,”Don’t even think about that. You will be making a big mistake. It was a total flop!”
To Zambia’s utter surprise, the ANC responded, “That’s just the information we want. Why did it fail? We wish to draw on your experience before we decide whether to nationalise our mines or not.”
So you see assistance comes in various forms. Don’t be jealous of Lungu. Your…
I meant to say your time will come.
#HH Oval; typical PF cadre always denying; denying even where there are facts; exporting maize to Zimbabwe does not mean that Zambians are not hungry; Zimbabwe exports other things to Zambia; more Zimbos have more businesses in Zambia; Zim is rising; in tourism; we have failed to beat them;
Would have thought that Zim will support Zambia makes more sense than this self serving nonsense. How do we even support Zim when they have more potential than us and are on their way to beat us in every sphere of life. Just yesterday it was reported that white farmers are packing up to return to zim.
this one is an answer again for #HH Oval Head; when I say young man or young boy; I know that the person am talking about is a young man;I have been on earth longer to know; the internet as well gives us info about different people; for saying our chief, I wanted to say our chiefs; to me; all Zambian chiefs are my chiefs; for your info; I am not for HH; I am for every Zambian politician who is not corrupt and violet; i will compliment every opposition leader who is not supporter of the corrupt ruling leaders; if the opposition win and become corrupt and violet; I will condemn them; Hope you have got the message young man; but i know that PF cadres like you will always support Lungu even when he does good;i only compliment Lungu when he does something good like keep Lusaka clean;
According to your analysis zimbos, drc Congo are trooping to zambia because we’re a hungry nation. How many people have migrated to drc Malawi Zimbabwe from zambia. Those are facts which you should be considering not the crap that is posted on Internet. Did you know you can as well post anything silly and people will still read it. Only 5tupid ones will believe an unsubstantiated stories posted on Internet.
