Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji has arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for bilateral talks.
In a special meeting, Zambia and Saudi Arabia reviewed bilateral relations and aspects of joint cooperation, in addition to a number of issues of common concern.
Ambassador Malanji who is currently visiting the Kingdom was received by his Saudi Arabian counterpart Dr.Ibrahim bin Abdulaziz Al-Assaf.
The meeting was attended by Saudi’s Minister of State for African Affairs Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Qattan, Director General of the African Department at the Foreign Ministry Ambassador Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al-Oweir and Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the Republic of Zambia Osama bin Mohammed Karanshi and Ambassador of the Republic of Zambia to Saudi Arabia Ibrahim Mumba.
Zambia established bilateral relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2013 but had a Consulate earlier.
This is contained in a statement made available by Deputy Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Huzaifa Jada
Do we really know what’s the main anchor of Saudi Arabian fireign policy?
Goats!! That’s what !
It reminds me of late Nashil Pitchen Kazembe’s song of the 1980s CHILYELYE ULEKE. We’re in that position, believe me. If we had goats to export we would hv been shipping them already. Since when hv we had such a widespread foot and mouth disease outbreak since independence? What has changed. We hvmore technocrats in the Ministry of Agriculture than at any time. And boy, do they know their work! You bet they do and I know wht I am talking about.
Extremely scary … Why why why…
Look at names, even those sent from Zambia have horrific names: Ibrahim Mumba, what kind of Mumba is that? And his deputy is Hqijaifa Jada. You mean that PF thug we used to see at PF rallies?
Jesus have mercy.
Becarefull Malaji, if you say “Jesus have mercy”, you come back in pieces.
Please sign a MOU whilst there.
What a joke of leaders…
The Corrupt and incompetent Lungu Govt taking its Begging Bowl to Saud Arabia. Even the Arabs will recognize a Corrupt Thief when they see one. Lungu has put Zambia on the World Map on the Corruption Index.
Bring home some money!
Mr Malanji strike a deal with Saudis

When you bilateral talking Educate us, abut Zambia and the Country your talking to.
I think that’s good politics.
Do we at least have Desks for the destinations we go to (Middle-East, Europe, etc.). Why is it that it is only the places we go begging from that have these Ministries of African Affairs (I bet soon as you have something valuable there will be a Ministry of Zambia). Ni cani cimene cakuti we are always the subordinate in these things. Awe shuwa.
I had sent an email to Ebrahim mumba after speaking to him regarding the duel citizenship for the Zambian diaspora.
To date there has been no response from him.
Shows the kind of people we have, if they don’t get anything for themselves then you have no reply, don’t expect anything from this visit
