Morocco and Zambia are poised to build on positive relations to promote further development, trade, and diplomacy.
Both countries’ representatives announced their desires for further cooperation on Friday during the inauguration of Zambia’s new representatives in Morocco.
Zambia’s Foreign Minister Joseph Malanji and Nasser Bourita, Morocco’s Minister of foreign affairs, African cooperation and Moroccan expatriates, attended the event welcoming the new officials to their post.
From today, Zambia will be represented in Morocco’s capital by Ambassador Eliphas Chinyonga as well as Consul Kelvin Malisase who will head Zambia’s consulate in Laayoune.
The new diplomatic missions intend to build on positive relations and improve interactions between Morocco and Zambia, as well as promote trade and development.
The two African nations have been working together intensively over the few past years to increase economic activity.
These efforts have resulted in a 25% increase in bilateral economic activity, which the two friendly nations are keen to extend even further.
The new diplomatic missions, which were originally opened in October, will improve dialogue between the country and enable further cooperation on key issues.
As a sign of positive relations, Zambia again emphasized its “active support” for Morocco’s diplomatic efforts surrounding the Western Sahara issue.
Zambia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Malanji stated that relations with Morocco were “solid” and that Zambia supports the “legitimate positions of Morocco.”
Nasser Bourita added that “we often exchange on our bilateral relations and on regional issues, especially within the African continent and within the framework of the African Union.”
Today’s diplomatic formalities additionally served to dispel rumors surrounding Zambia’s consulate in Laayoune.
Algerian media had reported that Zambia had withdrawn its consulate in Laayoune, something Zambian officials simply described as “false.”
Does this govt of Lazy Lungu have any robust foreign policy? Just some years ago you welcomed the King from this nation and recognised them with full honours at the airport now you are talking of commitment to western Sahara peace
Mr Malanji will be flying to Morocco in his newly acquired
Helicopter.
THESE DIPLOMATS WILL BE RECALLED AFTER 12 AUGUST ASSUMING UPND WINS , SO I THINK THIS APPOINTMENT IS NOT DONE IN GOOD FAITH COULD HAVE WAITED AFTER ERECTIONS
ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT FIND PEACE IN ZAMBIA BEFORE TRYING TO HELP OTHERS
THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND ??????
Moto – Can you imagine old man Sata tolerating a minister buying a luxury helicopter…this is someone who was up to his eyeballs in debt before he joined govt.

Morocco’s territory does not include the area known as Western Sahara.That should be the official GRZ position.
Seems like @Kaizar Zulu got some mental issues.
