Visiting Bangladeshi Chief of Army Staff urges people around the world to visit the Victoria Falls

Share

Visiting Bangladeshi Chief of Army Staff, General Aziz Ahmed has urged people around the world to visit the Victoria Falls and enjoy not only its uniqueness but also the friendliness of the Zambian people.

Gen. Ahmed has told journalists after touring the Victoria Falls with Zambia Army Commander Lt. General William Sikazwe that what he has read and heard about the Victoria Falls is nothing compared to what he has experienced.

And Gen. Ahmed said through his visit, Zambia and Bangladeshi armies will become closer, increase interactions in terms of exchange of trainings and other facilities of mutual interest.

Meanwhile, Lt. General William Sikazwe said the trip by Gen. AHMED will benefit Zambia because that country has a lot of experience in conventional warfare.

Lt. Gen. Sikazwe said that Zambia has a lot to learn from Bangladeshi and that the exchange visits will promote the interest of both countries.

He said Gen. Ahmed’s five days visit to Zambia is a reciprocation of his visit to that country

  1. In what capacity is this man in Zambia as? He has come with his spouse yet he accompanied by Zambian Army Commander …I can see another corrupt PF defence contract.

  2. Thank you General Aziz Ahmed. Just imagine that such a scene was DISCOVERED by a white man all the way from Scotland. We’ve even named a town after him after he named the falls after his Queen.

  3. I’m equally wondering what is the purpose and plan of his visit to Zambia? If it is to market the Victoria Falls on our behalf, I think the Ministry of Tourism should be doing that job. The General better be rather more concerned about the Indian variant of Covid-19 swapping over into his country faster than his flight back home.

  7. Thank you General Aziz Ahmed. Just imagine that such a scene was DISCOVERED by a white man all the way from Scotland. We’ve even named a town after him. This after he named the falls after his own Queen. Its real name is Mosi -Oa- Tunya.

  8. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan have a history with Zambian Defense Forces. In order to educate our youth and ignorant adults, Zambia Army, ZAF and ZNS must hold open days at which info on their history can be shared with members of the public. There’s a rich history behind some names like Burma, Tangap, Tag Argan, Kohima, Chindwin, etc. It’s only with that info that people will appreciate such visits. Military Biomedical Engineers are still being trained in India through such exchange

  9. Ayatollah – Yes we are aware that there is a history just like ZA has a history with Libya with ZAF…you don’t see Generals coming here with this much publicity…this where the Zambia Army Press Dept should be inform the public. Generals dont fly in like that on business and pleasure!!

  11. Does the general not know that
    Victoria falls is one of the seven
    Wonders of the world.let him hold
    Workshops to teach his Zambian
    Counterparts on military but again
    Zambia is not at war.

  12. @Tarino, this visit is reciprocal, the man was invited. Our own was in Bangladesh, so I don’t see any issue here

  13. Our tourism sector has taken very good care of all the site seeing in this nation, everything under them is highly maintained.

  14. God has blessed the nation with several natural beauties including forest, rivers, national parks, etc. Zambia is also blessed with a generous leader President Lungu to whom we are going to be grateful!

  15. This is how the countries come closer! We cannot deny the fact that foreign companies found huge potential in Zambia and planning to invest here.

  16. Such a kind words from General Aziz Ahmed. Happy to know that people are loving Zambia and its natural beauty.

  17. Before pandemic, large number of tourists were visiting Zambia and enjoying its wonderful nature. In coming years, we hope to see more tourists as the covid-19 vaccines are available for the public and the deadly virus would be controlled.

  18. We must appreciate President Lungu and his administration for making Zambia a peace loving country for all. Tourist feels safe here!!!
