Share

President Edgar Lungu has congratulated the President-elect of the United States of America, Joseph Biden following his election to become the 46th President of that country.

“On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Zambia, as well as on my own behalf, I wish to convey our heartfelt congratulations on your election as President of the United States of America,” says President Lungu in his congratulatory message to President Biden.

The President has described Mr. Biden’s election as a demonstration of the American people’s confidence in his ability to foster unity and increase socio-economic development, among other aspects outlined in his Restoration Plan.

President Lungu has further acknowledged that Zambia and the United States of America enjoy strong relations that are based on mutual respect and benefit for the peoples of Zambia and the United States of America.

He has added that the United States remains one of Zambia’s strategic partners that over the years has rendered invaluable support to economic development and welfare through various initiatives and projects under the Presidential Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR), Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), among other areas.

“While I look forward to working closely with Your Excellency in the future strengthening of our bilateral relations, please accept, my best wishes for your personal good health as well as success in discharging the functions of your high office,” the President said.

This is contained in a statement released to the media in Lusaka this afternoon by Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Isaac Chipampe.

  2. Congratulations to Mr Biden. A well deserved win as you sold your message to the electorate and they have accepted it. We in pf are also preparing and selling our messages. That is the only way you can win in a democratic state.

    We wish our friends in upnd can learn from the democratic ideals of the USA and field a different candidate. How does one person stand for elections over 4 times and continues to lose

  3. Congratulations are in order. No need to be hating on our head of state because he is passing a congratulatory message. I’m personally relieved that we now have a US president who has a lot more respect for African people and their countries than his predecessor. What right do you have to call what God created “sh.thole countries?” Pride comes before destruction.
    Fortunately, Kamala Harris has lived in Zambia and will obviuosly share her positive experience with Joe Biden. It’s a new deal and the future is bright, if you ask me.

  5. Nine Chale aka Neneh Cherry – As gullible and docile as ever you think if Indian girl Kamala lived in Zambia briefly she will have a soft spot for you? Really laughable…in fact its under Republicans that increased funding to your lazy govts takes place …for example the $450 million Millennium Water & Sanitation Projects implemented under Bush Jr. Please leave God out of this nonsense …God did not create the corruption and mismanaged under most dictators like Lazy Lungu who have debted their countries into billions of dollars now spending half the expenditure to service debt to lenders. If you have nothing to post go and sit with your German madam (husband) and lie to her about your progressive govt back home.
    Wake up (wo)man!!

  9. Tarino it hurts to be in opposition ka? Swallow that pride and go to villages like we did to sell your message to the people. Winning southern province only will never bring you in power because this country is more than just the south or people that speak a similar way to you. As you get old and grow grey hairs there in diaspora us we are leading our nation

  12. If we had to accept mail-in ballots, all mail-in ballots will come from state house. So please don’t suggest anything of this sort to Jonathan!!… just sayin, in case Pfools are thing of such ideas…

  13. Indeed heartfelt congratulations to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. the new POTUS-elect.
    With respect we know Joe will deliver bacause he rose from the grassroots. Having been a lawmaker, a Senator, we know he has the experience.
    Heart felt congratulations to beautiful Harris Kamala also as Madam Vice President-elect an African-Asian-American.
    $h!+hole trump was highly and mercilessly divisive just like kleptoh². He is now behaving like our very own kleptoh². Up to now I have never heard kleptoh² concession speech. Donald is playing kleptoh² games petitioning elections he have lost. Never vote crooked businessman in power or allow them in politics. Else you will cry .

  14. In Zambia 2021 we’ll also be congratulating a new president elect after the misguided incumbent is defeated at the ballot box.

  15. How can you congratulate somebody who has stolen an election? It is not over until God says so. Light will always overcome darkness. Psalm 33:12
