Vice President Inonge Wina says the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, remains a role model for world leaders for his role in the development of a modern and secular country that has become an influential nation on the global stage.

In her message shortly after Lying wreaths at Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Ataturk in Ankara today, Ms. Wina said the revolutionary leader leaves behind a legacy of selfless leadership, patriotism and sacrifice for his people as evidenced by the transformative reforms he implemented as Turkey’s first President from 1923 until his death in 1938.

Ms. Wina said Ataturk implemented reforms that entrenched individual liberties and rights for the people of that country.

The Vice President added that Ataturk is also remembered for his pivotal role in 1915 when he and his colleagues stopped a large force of foreign troops from taking Instanbul.

She said as a leader and Zambia’s first woman Vice President, she is inspired by Atarturk’s famous quote that states that everything that is seen in the world is the creative work of women which she said is a testimony of the importance that Ataturk attached to the role of women in national development.

Meanwhile, the Vice President has challenged the Zambian delegation comprising government officials, the Zambia Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI), Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) and Patriotic Front (PF) officials led by Deputy Secretary General, Mumbi Phiri to learn how Turkey is tackling developmental issues.

She noted that Turkey has recorded massive development within a short time because of the political leadership, private sector participation,the ruling justice and Development Party which has navigated the system of governance through constitutional reforms to suit Turkey’s development of demands.

This is contained in a statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today by First Secretary for Press at the Zambian embassy in Ankara, Turkey, Jerry Munthali.

  1. This lady is embarrassing us.

    Turkey’s economy is in free fall. Turkey is considered a dictatorship state by western countries.

    So what is it that you want us to learn from them?

    The only thing we could learn maybe is how to stage a coup d’etat – but Zambians are not that type of people.

    Why are you really even there with your large entourage wasting tax payers money?

    Just come back home madam.

    • I am praying everyday since the female president went to that country. She has to be careful not to mention Jesus. Even write name is terrifying.
      Thank God Inonge didn’t go with PF’s reveland Sumaili.

  2. True indigo and the worst thing these guys go to these places with no proper agenda, here she is attending something that she knows little off. How is this event going to help us, if she had an agenda she would be signing trade or partnership agreements that take the country interests into consideration

  3. The Turkish crisis should be a source of concern for Zambia The economy though worthy USD 850 Billion is a source of economic crisis and it’s important that Zambia takes stock The Lira (Turkish currency )has depreciated more than 42% against the USD since the Beginning of the Year Now the measure of economic performance and sound policies is often measured in the performance of the economy Imports have become expensive and uncompetitive so if sourced from Zambia Inflation is eating up at 15.6% in 2018 from 7.2% in 2015 and mounting pressures on Turkeys Sovereign Debt is also a source of Concern GDP for the 1st Quarter has been negative at -7.12% down from -4.35%…

  4. since 2015 Foreign Reserves have fallen from USD 110 Billion and USD 76 Billion in 2018 External debt as a percentage of GDP has risen from 43.4% in 2014 to 53% IN 2017 Clearly here the Turkish deal or lookup is a cost to Zambia given also the spreads on its GOV bonds

    The Iran and Us geopolitical landscape is also exemplifying the situation Most likely turkey will be running to the IMF CHINA QATAR even Kuwait
    For those that have taken time to understand the investors we have here, the statement may not be as rosy as it sounds Have you seen the Kasimpasa district in Istanbul and at least seen the suffering of the Turkish people in there Do they…

  5. Do they and we understand the meaning of “GULEN MOVEMENT” or the 1920 treaty of SEVRES with respects to trades foreign Goods

    There is nothing in long tern friendship with Turkey looking at the Turkish Political economy Its a cost to Zambia and sovereignty

  6. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT TRIP , AND WHO IS PAYING FOR THOSE OF AFFICALS IN THE ENTOURAGE , THESE ARE THE QUSSTIONS THE OPPOSITION SHOULD BE ASKING THIS PF CORUPTY GOV . WHAT CAN WE LERAN FROM TURKEY , YOU JUST WASTING THE TAX PAYERS MONEY ON YOUR FRUITNESS FOREIGN TRIPS

  7. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM THAT TRIP , AND WHO IS PAYING FOR THOSE OF PF OFFICIALS IN THE ENTOURAGE , THESE ARE THE QUSSTIONS THE OPPOSITION SHOULD BE ASKING THIS PF CORUPTY GOV . WHAT CAN WE LERAN FROM TURKEY , YOU JUST WASTING THE TAX PAYERS MONEY ON YOUR FRUITNESS FOREIGN TRIPS

  8. Please Old Hen Bo Inonge just come back …your hosts have bigger problems at the moment to listen to your debt issues from back home in the village of Lusaka. I mean even borrowers who are exposed to Turkish Banks their shares are being affected…can someone with sense on that entourage in Ankara tell the senile woman that its time to head back as the timing is wrong!!

  9. The Turkish President is be say blaming others including foreign countries of the issuing Turkish economic crisis Its not economic terrorism on Turkey NO The true reasoning behind the source of Turkish economic crisis and turmoil is centred around Its HEAVY BORROWINGs in USDs and MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES to effect appropriate transmission mechanisms on Inflation and Interest rates to moderate the economy
    That is why we are saying there is no lesson or lessons to learn from Turkey Do not also shoot the Messenger of the Zambian Messenger as far as the Position of Zambia Turkey Economic FDIs relations is She could have carried the same thinking on…
