PRESIDENT HAKAINDE HICHILEMA TO UNDERTAKE VISIT TO TANZANIA

At the invitation of Her Excellency Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the
United Republic of Tanzania, Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, President of the Republic
of Zambia, will travel to Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania to attend the 60th Anniversary of
the Union Day, scheduled for 26th April 2024.

This commemorative event marks 60
years since the successful union of the Republic of Tanganyika and the People’s
Republic of Zanzibar, culminating in the birth of the United Republic of Tanzania.

While in Tanzania, President Hichilema will hold bilateral talks with President
Hassan, addressing pertinent matters of mutual interest. The discussions will serve
to build on the State Visit undertaken to Zambia by President Hassan in October
2023, and allow for further consolidation of ties between the two countries.

Zambia and Tanzania enjoy longstanding bonds of friendship, with bilateral
relations firmly grounded in their shared history of the liberation struggle of
Southern Africa. The two countries collaborate extensively across social, political, and economic spheres, within the framework of the Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation.

The Government of the Republic of Zambia will therefore continue to collaborate
with Tanzania, ensuring that the two countries support each other, at regional,
continental and international levels through the United Nations, the Commonwealth, the African Union, the Southern African Development Community and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region.

President Hichilema is expected to return to Zambia immediately after his
engagements.

  1. Let’s have a visible Acting President , Madame Mutale Nalumango, and a statement from the secretary to the Cabinet indicating the same.
    What kind of egoistic and power hungry president do we have at the helm who can’t for once allow the Vice to act in his position??

    • The reliable evidence I have from Barotseland is that secession from Zambia does not have popular support. It’s just a vocal minority that is stirring up things. Even the Litunga himself is not for secession I have been assured by my trusted and informed contacts in Barotseland. Under the old feudal system in Barotseland, the current Litunga would probably have been harmed by some hotheads among those people. But they cannot do so now because they know the consequences under the Zambian constitution.
