“In terms of Korea’s diplomacy diversification policy which wants to expand its diplomacy horizon to Africa and to strengthen mutual Korea-Africa partnership even more, Your Excellency has been an exemplary envoy among the African Diplomatic Corps. who seeks cooperation ways regarding Saemaeul Movement international development, economic cooperation and parliamentary cooperation between the two countries, to name just a few areas.”

He said that he was “impressed at the accurate capture of the efforts highlighted in the Award.”
“The conferring of the Award goes to show that the strategy and efforts towards raising awareness, improving relations, to name a few, are yielding fruit and are paying off. I wish to acknowledge that without your commitment, dedication to duty and efforts, this Award would not have been possible. Please keep it up and let us continue to score and shine as a team.
Some so called awards are a joke!! Has the man brought Hyndai or Kia manufacturing plant to Zambia? Or even a small boat (pabwato) manufacturing plant to Z so the people of Luapula can reduce blindness by learning to fish on small boats? Zero! So katwushi what’s best here
Kekekekeke Emmanuel Mwamba may reward himself too. Ka Mukwita may hang himself for not receiving no award ever.
Wilber Simussa, former Sata’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. Respectable people.
Majealous ma Zambians benangu. Kaya.
These are ambassadors who are working silently behind the scenes like an ambassador should …not every week issuing silly self promoting statements like those two fooooools Anthony and Mwamba or that moron of woman in India who films a young student plead for her parents to send school fees.
Is this something to report about? We have run out of new s?
Congratulations!!! That’s a prestigious award and I am sure we will see the fruit of your labor soon.
Keep making the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise proud!!! Proud of you.
Ala tweende webo, tweende Simuusa.
Let’s roll … epo mpelele,
BRM
Bongo Bongo – Bringing such investors is not the job description of the Ambassador…this is why I detest middlemen like Mwamba and that silly boy Anthony in Germany. Do you even know what entails to have a car manufacturer…ZESCO can’t accommodate it.
For sure , he was given an award for nothing but telling Koreans in lectures how nice Zambian and lungu are
……show us koreaian manufacturing in zambia he has brought
This man has somehow kept his integrate from the Sata days, when you are good, you are good. Congrats
In Zambia they assume an Ambassador is a loud mouthed publicity seeking car salesman like Mwamba or Anthony in Germany.
Well deserved, one of the minister’s who stood out in MCS’s team. A real gent and credible.
Whatever people may say, fact remains he was picked from a host of other envoys.
Whichever way one looks at it, news that paints Zambia in a positive way is good. Let’s learn to support each other. I say, Congratulations Ambassador. May this give you more credibility as you continue to put Zambia’s interests out there in Korea.
To all you haters, what would have been your comments if the news about the Zambian ambassador was in the negative?? Graduate from the PULL HIM DOWN MENTALITY. If you want to learn more about why he has been honoured, do some more research instead of rushing to exhibit your ignorance
Good to hear…he failed to tick in Zambia and his constituency
Any good vibe about Zambia is much more welcome. Congratulations ambassador for an award well deserved. Much congrats to your team for the good job they are doing. Respect.
