Unlike Zambia, Zimbabwe enjoys a frosty relationship with the UK, President Mnangagwa has since became the first Zimbabwean leader to officially visit the UK in 25 years.

Meanwhile, President Hakainde Hichilema writes below…

We had a brief conversation with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson upon our arrival at the Glasgow, Scotland World Leaders summit on climate change earlier today.

We are optimistic that Zambia and UK will continue to support each other in key areas of good governance, economy, trade and investment including education and health.

Other than the history the two Nations share, Zambia and UK will endeavour to promote peace and unity for development.

May God bless the two nations.

Hakainde Hichilema
President of the Republic of Zambia.
