Zambian president wraps up China visit

Share

Zambian President Rupiah Banda concluded his nine-day state visit to China and left for home Thursday evening.

When meeting with Wang Rong, acting mayor of Shenzhen city of south China’s Guangdong Province, Banda Wednesday said China’s development experience was significant to Zambia, highlighting Shenzhen’s transition from a small village to a metropolitan.

Banda said Zambia and China had conducted cooperation in medical treatment and the mining industry. He would further facilitate the cooperation back in Zambia.

Banda also hoped more Chinese people would visit Zambia, which could strengthen their friendship with the Zambian people.

During Banda’s earlier stay in Beijing, Chinese President Hu Jintao held talks with him. Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Wu Bangguo, and Premier Wen Jiabao also met with him.

Banda also visited south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province.

As the guest of Hu, it was Banda’s first trip to China since being elected president in 2008.

  1. Just come home and retire,wasting people’s time,some of you won’t be there in the future-thus no interest in working hard,this man has a bucket list or something-damn

  2. How much of borrowed money is spent on this trip? Please, Mr. President, I think you travel too much even where your present is not essential. Why don’t you let Ambassadors and the Foreign Minister do it on your behalf. It would cost Zambia much less. Dr. Kaunda not even Dr Chiluba made such frequent visits. Your trips have made you look more like a President for Tourism than a National President. May be Zambia doesn’t even need a Minister of Tourism since you do it on the sector’s behalf.

  3. Now Mr RB, put your bums on your State House chair and do some country issues. Vina bwala mochedwa vima ndeke kaa
