The European Union (EU) has pledged full support towards the actualization of a one Stop Border Post at Mwami between Zambia and Malawi to ensure smooth trade between the countries.
Head of Delegation for EU and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Allessandro Mariani said the border post project will not only refurbish infrastructure but also make the two countries speak and operate under one system.
Mr. Mariani was speaking when he paid a courtesy call on the Mayor of Chipata.
And Swedish Ambassador to Zambia, Henrik Cederin has commended the Chipata City leadership for successfully implementing the partnership project with his country.
Mr. Cederin said his office will render its support to ensure that there is a continuation of the project that came to an end last month.
And Chipata Mayor, Sinoya Mwale said the city’s partnership with Moelndal City of Sweden whose main aim was to strengthen youth participation in decision making translated into three fruitful exchange visits since its inception in 2015.
Mr. Mwalwe added that an equipped youth centre also been created in Chipata and is currently offering trainings in tailoring, video production, music as well as offering debates on drug abuse and sexual reproductive health rights among others.
“Our partnership ended in September. Our hope is that it is extended so that we also extend its coverage to cater issues of waste management and value addition among others,” he said.
We are assured that this project will be audited throughly until it’s completion, unlike the projects with the east connection.
Let us develop this thing! It will NEVER be elected.
I wish this was kasumbalesa, mukambo, bords post DRC.
Only the wiseman would do wise
Melania Trump didn’t cross from Malawi into Zambia because Lungu misappropriated the EU money for a modern road and border post.
She got a memo from Paradise Papers of siphoned money by HH to PANAMA! I got it, didn’t you? HAZALUZA HAGAIN because he is CHILDISH and UNELECTABLE.
If we had kept the 7%p.a MMD economic growth momentum going we’d have easily funded this border post ourselves.
Even toilet extensions now call for donor support. What has happened mwa wantu kansi? I look forward to a day when some national developments will be out of bounds of donor funding and support. Try that on a European or American (yes, I mean North and South) country and observe the response you will get.
hahahahah
Zambian engineers are useless ..never built any major project in Zambia. Foreigners are the ones doing it? What a joke?
Ah so there is another upnd cadre? Please embrace my principles, especially on trib.al Hacks, or I will show you the door.
Now you dont want to lose that privilege of associating with me do you?????
EU thank you but no. Please stop spoon feeding us. We have cement, we have sand, we have builders, we have architectures, power and water engineers etc. we can do this ourselves.
EU your money will be stolen or diverted even before this project starts.
