President Edgar Lungu

President Edgar Lungu is tomorrow expected in New York to attend the 74th United Nations General Assembly in the United States of America.

President Lungu will join host President Donald Trump and other foreign Heads of State and Government in discussing global issues affecting humanity.

Foreign Affairs Minister Joe Malanji has confirmed the development during a media briefing in New York today.

Mr. Malanji revealed that President Lungu will hold a bilateral meeting with the King of Jordon Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

He also said the Head of State is scheduled to undertake a State Visit to Jordan later this year in a bid to enhance bilateral relations with the Jordanian monarchy.

And Mr. Malanji said President Lungu will also hold discussions with President TRUMP’s representatives from State Department while in New York.

Meanwhile, Zambia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Lazarous Kapambwe said this year’s United Nations General Assembly will focus on among other issues climate change, access to universal health care and progress in implementation of the Sustainable development goals.

  1. World explorer Edgar “Livingstone” Lungu off again flying to New York after his usual brief stop overs in Zambia. The Zambian taxpayer is tired.

    • Hahahaha, the last time I checked the Donald once called climate change a hoax, OK will be following keenly your discussion with him about this issue.

    • Bon voyage!

      Foreign Minister Malanji is already thinking up a ka next trip. You will be informed in mid air from the U.S.

    • And he will just hold talk with President Trump tea boy and plan another state visit to Jordan…Zambian’ s tax payers money working good…i can imagine the entourage….the entire PF gang is in New York shopping….vice President is munching on Tax payers money for overpriced medical treatment in India….well done PF

    • And we struggling with load shedding 2019…no viable alternative…..just globetrotting and wasting tax payers money….am in New York and if i see Lungu on the streets I will call the Police so they can arrest him for drug dealing

    • The headline should be “Zambia finds solution for load shedding and is set to build state of the art medical institutions in each province”…not Lungu is expected in Zimbabwe,Lungu is expected in Southern Province,Lungu is expected in Petauke,Lungu is expected in Livingstone,Lungu is expected to meet Trump’s maid,Lungu planning Jordan trip…Chawama power

  2. Enjoy Boss.This is part of your job description.I know how Hehe is feeling.
    I know while you are away he will try to distribute gaga in Manyinga where this stuff is not known.

    • Yeah…..attending to such meetings are part of his job description and it increases zambians bilateral ratings globally

  3. Lungu is facing a catch 22…….

    There is real hunger in Zambia, worthy of declearing an emergency ……but if lungu does that , he will be singled out by donner countries for excessive travelling……

    But lungu needs to travel excessively to earn allawances to cover his massive stealing……….

    It won’t work. We are counting…

  4. hopefully ecl will be arrested for associations with known drug dealers such as Valden Findlay.
    Hopefully they both get arrested and put in jail for a very long time

  5. Ok but lungu mubi. Just look at that picture and then look at how handsome hh is. Any way it’s good to see that he is off on the jet again. Can the USA authorities look into him and his drug dealing connections. Better still let him use a Boeing 787 max to travel there and we hope pilot engaged auto pilot. Even my white wife is shocked that a poor country can continue paying for useless president to fly this much. Its not like Zambia is even a key player on the global scene. Meanwhile wifey and I are just having some wine as we discuss our future investments.i love her

  6. The UN Summit this time is about the biggest hoax, Climate Change. Our own has fallen for the hoax as his major excuse for his incompetence and mismanagement! We just hope he has researched well for his speech. We don’t want embarrassments especially that he has not led by example by building on a forest reserve!

  7. “President Lungu will join host President Donald Trump and other foreign Heads of State and Government in discussing global issues affecting humanity.”

    And then this?

    “And Mr. Malanji said President Lungu will also hold discussions with President TRUMP’s representatives from State Department while in New York”.

    No direct talks with Trump after
    joining him? So why mention Trump? Why not just say joining other heads of state? The feeling of self importance, same as HH. Me I am comparing these two leaders of ours, no difference except for the trible baggage that HH carries.

  8. But anyway travel well your Excellency, please take your fellow heads of state on your morning jogs on New York streets.
    And while you are away we can rest from seeing or hearing you everyday perhaps? No boring fights with your friend HH.

  9. Why doesn’t HH join his friend in New York? We are tired of HH this, HH that, HH lifting or donating bag of mealie meal, HH has directed the President blah blah, HH has declared a national disaster as if the whole nation is affected by drought and famine, HH has convinced Britain to donate mealie meal … and none of the statements does anything to build his national image in preparation for 2021 but instead subtracting votes massively such that he will not be able to launch a presidential petition in 2021.

    • But what does he even go to do at UNGA?He has a food crisis and an energy crisis,he just has to go.Please get us the manifest for this journey..

  10. I commented on this impending trip yesterday. It’s the UN summit where as usual the African voice is largely ignored.

    My concern is that the minister of foreign affairs has announced that ECL’s next trip is to Jordan. For goodness sake, how much longer are we going to be subjected to this travelling circus – at tax payers expense?

  11. He’s off to rule the world. We look forward to his visit to Zambia after that summit. Don’t forget to carry more shirts so you don’t have to make those tu ma one week stopovers kuno. Muyendeletu.

  12. Please clean the plane from all traces of Findley, it is a UN assembly you are attending Sir, I hope the Jet won’t be subjected to searching

  13. So how can someone who stays in the skies know how we are suffering on the ground? He briefly visits us to mock us with our problems then off he goes after politicizing our problems. Our businesses have been adversely affected by the power deficits and we have been forced to lay off workers and close some of them! We are not going anywhere naba mudala aba! Too much of himself! He is so thoroughly insulated from reality! His boot lickers are cashing in on his blindness! He should live long to see the rude shock that awaits him!

  14. Who is accompanying him,Findley?Am sure Findley won’t dare at this time.This guy Lungu and his government re already planning the next trip.I think this guy travels a lot to run and hide away from the real problems facing the nation because he has no clue on how to handle the problems.We are so screwed as a nation

  15. What a corrupt thieving hypocrite this lungu is……

    Haveing just looted and sharedout reserve forests for water catchment in his country……he goes with a stright face to a climate change meeting ????

  16. This problem started with Bwezani Lungu, Sata took it to an extreme health tourism. Now this mwine Chipata Mbeba has taken traveling to a wholly gutless level. Limiting the number of times the president can undertake in any given month is a Clause they were suppose in insert in that masalamusi constitution of theirs not za upuba they inserted in, including their tiny ubwambaz!
