President Hakainde Hichilema has safely arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ahead of the first Saudi-African Summit scheduled for Friday. In a statement President Hichilema expressed gratitude for the invitation from His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and outlined the purpose of Zambia’s representation at the summit.
In his message, President Hichilema underscored the importance of showcasing Zambia’s abundant natural and human resources at the summit. The aim is to illustrate the country’s commitment to turning around its economy through hard work and dedication. The President emphasized that every step taken during this diplomatic mission is focused on the development needs of the youth and women in various parts of Zambia, including Kashinakazhi, Chipulukusu, Shangombo, Chief Kambombo area, Egichickeni, and other areas requiring significant development.
“We are committed to ensuring that we bring this to fruition,” President Hichilema stated, highlighting his dedication to uplifting communities that are in need of development.
President Hichilema expressed appreciation to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud for the invitation and thanked fellow Zambians for their prayers, concluding his message with a heartfelt wish for God’s blessings on the country.
Additionally, President Hichilema stated that the summit’s theme, “A Promising Partnership,” aligns seamlessly with Zambia’s vision of fostering development through sustainable alliances with foreign investors and the Zambian private sector. The President aims to leverage the nation’s resource endowment and prioritize value addition within the country, contributing significantly to economic growth and development.
On the sidelines of the summit, President Hichilema is expected to engage in bilateral discussions with His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These discussions are poised to further strengthen the diplomatic ties between Zambia and Saudi Arabia and explore opportunities for mutual cooperation.
But the summit was cancelled
Moon yellow wake
You are taking your liberties too far comrade. One day something will penetrate your ‘moon yellow’.
Yellow should be ECL colour cannot come out in the open and just likes putting up smoke screens
Im still waiting for the big bang within pf
Kaizer fuseke embwa we. Fugitive buttyboy. You are getting chopped by men in Zimbabwe to survive.
“President Hakainde Hichilema has safely arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ahead of the first Saudi-African Summit scheduled for Friday. ”
Did you expect him to arrive unsafely?
Cant he miss any summit abroad?
Attending the same cancelled meeting? Zambia in the New Down government!
Just watching. The entire Middle East is busy trying to stop the war between Israel and Gaza. Would they have time for this?
I was wondering when next he would be taking his next jolly…but what is he doing in Saudi Arabia when the summit has been cancelled? Isn’t this abuse of office? Meanwhile the country is going down the crapper. SMH
How many African Presidents attended the cancelled summit? Perhaps just one, so it can’t be summit with only one person in attendance.
He is trying to market and encourage investment as we are going nowhere without it
even if he finds one investor its better than none
@Tikki Of course you’re being sarcastic eh?

A beautiful woman doesn’t have to walk naked to attract suitors. They just come to her.
Food for thought ba Iris food for thought
The summit has been widely publicized cancelled. Who has bewitched Zambian Presidents?
Just imagine.
Ignorance will hold this country back for many years to come
You are the one who is ignorant. Right now the Saudi leadership is meeting with other Arab countries over the Gaza situation. So who’s he summiting with?
Which summit is cancelled ? PF does not learn that lies have short legs. You did the same on the visit to China. Yoh got embarrassed after.

I am Kaizar Zulu. I am proud to be a Zambabwean but neutralized into a Zambia citizen. Just like my hero Edgar Changwe Lungu. Zambians are dull. That is why they easy to rule by any foregner
When a leader of any country engages in insensat lying then you know you are in grave problems. If Hakainde was as clever as believed in some sections of the Zambia community he would be a little more candid than he has demonstrated so far. One does not know how many African leaders attended a canceled summit. Only Africans who don’t read get cheated in this day and age.
No comrade 3 African vice presidents attended and 1 President from Zambia.
Sorry for reminding me. I understand one headman under Chief Mukuni also went along to attend. Next President Miles Sampa will attend. Hopefully in the company of Chief Chitimukulu
