Government today held a series of meetings with German Institutions aiming at appreciating their cooperation with Zambia in Frankfurt ,Germany.
Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba is today Mr Kalaba made a stopover for the meetings today on his way to Zambia from New York, USA yesterday were he was attending the UN General Assembly..
This is according to a statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today by first secretary press and public relations at the Zambian Embassy in Germany, Yvonne Shibemba.
The Minister is scheduled to meet with the Director of international Chamber of Industry-Foreign Trade,Dr.Jurgen Ratzinger, German Development Bank (KFW) Director of the department for “Africa Regional Programs”and KFW Head of Division Infrastructure Southern Africa Dr. Martin Witte.
Mr Kalaba held meetings with officials from Division Commerce, Rural Development and Natural resources, foreign Trade location Policy, Ministry of Trade, Wiesbaden and the Germany society for International Cooperation (GIZ).
He was accompanied by Zambian Ambassador to Germany, Bwalya Chiti and the honorary consul of the Republic of Zambia to the Federal State of Hessen in Germany, Jorrit Plambeck.
If these foreign trips by our ministers can yield only one single “progressive” outcome er trip, Zambia would be the most performing economy in Africa trading with European and American economies at unpresidented levels in Agriculture and modern technologies. But truth be told, our ministers simply travel to fill up their photo albums with pictures of where in the world they have been and who they have met and shook hands with.
It is evident when you look at this very Kalaba at the just ended UNGA. Pictures galore with every Africa leader but be rest assured we shall never see anything “tangible” from that trip of 40delegates including the President. Well, unless you count debt as something tangible.
Its high time for Kalaba to leave TP….
haaaa sorry, I thought it Ranford.
from new York to Frankfurt, that is horrible booking of air ticket
i also thought it was Rainford.
There is clearly no objective from this visit…this empty tin Kalaba will visit everyone in Germany…you can see that this was not even planned as the minister of commerce empty tin Bob Schinga is not even there.
From this picture it appears that Kalaba and uncle Bob had their meeting in Frankfurt. Where is Bwalya Chiti in the picture? I agree with “It’s a worry above” Many of our leaders especially under the PF govt do not understand how that they need to deliver results as apposed to mere rhetoric. In fact, this trip at all in Frankfurt did not require Kalaba’s presence. What is Chiti doing there? Couldn’t he have met with these people? I can’t imagine that the USA secretary of state would travel to Zambia to come and talk about cooperation between the two countries when they have an ambassador stationed in Lusaka. I propose that we close most of the embassies worldwide and only remain with about 10 strategic ones–Ottawa, London, Pretoria, DC, Addis, Lagos, Beijing, Sidney, Amsterdam,…

Read caption under picture which say
“Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe chats with Zambia Foreign Minister Harry Kalaba and Rwanda’s Foreign Ministers Louise Mushikiwabo at UN Headquarters on Monday 22-09-2014.”
Therefore, no picture of ANY meeting in Germany
Ba LT please edit your articles before you post them! It’s really getting annoying now. Read the second paragraph of your article:
‘Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba is today Mr Kalaba made a stopover for the meetings today on his way to Zambia from New York, USA yesterday were he was attending the UN General Assembly.’
Who on earth wrote this?
