President Hakainde Hichilema and his Congolese counterpart Félix Tshisekedi held talks in Kinshasa on Tuesday.
President Hichilema who is visiting the Congo DR said the bilateral talks were very fruitful.
Mr. Hichilema said the talks centered around trade and investment and long-standing border issues between the two countries, which the leaders agreed should be resolved harmoniously.
“We also agreed that trade and investment can be enhanced if we normalize our border challenges.”
He added, “This would not only allow both countries to focus on the creation of business opportunities but that such efforts would, in turn, improve livelihoods, health and education for the people of DRC and Zambia.”
President Hichilema expressed Zambia’s willingness to deal with these challenges with determination because the two countries share a common history, values, and cultures, that would be further cemented if these outstanding matters were amicably resolved.
Vascodagama you could have done a virtual meeting you don’t have to keep on wasting tax payers money….you can do business via phone call…..just want to fly from country to country….and you used to criticize the previous government but you’re doing exactly the same and even more…..alot of UPND supporters are frustrated just like Lusaka Times resident blogger Spaka who has resorted to insulting fellow bloggers because of the frustration seeing HH following Lungu’s footsteps
No wonder Presidents wives always have side dudes….husbands always out spending nights in hotels wasting tax payers money….now HH has tasted the honey……Mutinta should find a side dude or bedroom attendant….Esther Lungu had a bedroom attendant kaili they’re following in Lungu’s footsteps and doing it even more
You would wish the look of this room was representative of the DRC situation. Sadly it’s million light-years the opposite.
Lace up shoes are the way to go for a president. Also, loosen your top button when seated! Just saying

“Vascodagama you could have done a virtual meeting you don’t have to keep on wasting tax payers money….you can do business via phone call……..”
Why was COP26 not held virtually ????
You have no idea how international diplomacy works……….
Lungu used to go dancing everywhere…….
Stark difference with HEHH……….
Let’s see how your frustrations will be after 10 years of HEHH……….
Good start your Excellence. Please put orderliness and appropriate infrastructure to facilitate business at Kasumbalesa Border post.

Sir I see the potential could be ten fold more than what is obtaining currently. I submit………
He will catch covid at this rate. Anyway we hope he represented us well
How do you call a President who has gone on official visit as VASCO DAGAMA. You should realize that state visit was mooted when the two met during UN General Assembly Meeting in New York last month. He is just fulfilling that engagement.
HH, Hope is Here.
HH is wasting government resources by making these trips, and in the case of Tshekedi this is the 4th time he will be meeting him, 1. at the inauguration 2. At the UN, 3. In Glasgow and now in Kinshasa.

DRC is the most lucrative neighbour zambia has , the opportunity for Zambian produce is limitless ……….
There are some place not everything can be discussed………
Like you can’t start discussing debt arrears at a funeral house…….
or you can not force your agenda on other countries who have their own business at these meetings ……..
HEHH is right to pursue this DRC market…….
Saulosi and that UK based troll will ALWAYS criticize HH no matter what. They hate HH with passion bcoz he’s a Tonga president.
@ Spaka
No wonder Africa will never develop….why cant we support someone genuinely without looking at his tribe….if it was Lungu Traveling like HH you should have said he is wasting tax payers money but as for HH its ok since” we have no idea how international diplomacy works”…..if you are a Patriot you support whoever is in power and contribute and criticize whenever necessary……even when Lungu is out of office you continue insulting him…thats not cool man
