Zambia celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic of China. Themed “Pass on the spirit to the next generation and jointly build a shared future,” the event was held at the TAZARA Memorial Park in Chongwe District.

During the ceremony, President Hakainde Hichilema reaffirmed Zambia’s commitment to maintaining and strengthening its cordial relationship with China. He highlighted that the foundation of these ties was laid by Zambia’s first President, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, through a pioneering partnership with China and Tanzania that led to the establishment of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA).

“This is a clear demonstration that what we do today or what we did yesterday will definitely matter tomorrow,” President Hichilema emphasized, reflecting on the long-standing cooperation between the two countries.

The President expressed gratitude to China for its steadfast support of Zambia since 1964, reiterating that Zambia remains dedicated to fostering this partnership for future generations.

“Once more, thank you to the People’s Republic of China for standing with Zambia since 1964, and we remain committed to this friendship. May God bless Zambia. May God bless The People’s Republic of China,” he concluded.

The event not only marked a historic milestone but also served as a reminder of the shared future that Zambia and China aim to build through mutual respect and cooperation.

  1. Although we cherish our friendship with China, we must not let the Chinese be our masters in Zambia. They are our guests and let that sink in…

    • It’s not about beating any of them, it’s about getting the best from either side based on self interest. America and China cooperate on lots of issues and are big trading partners.
      Only the ill advised will put their eggs in one basket.

  2. 60 years. There is no water in Mtendere, people moving with containers and drums every morning to PHI looking for water, PHI which is also hit.

    • What? No water in a country with five lakes, ten major rivers three swamplands etc. Yet Libya in the Sahara desert has water throughout the year

  3. #seeking justice… I know that but I am looking at the scorn the Upnd heaped our relationship with China to the extent of nicknaming Edgar as Chinalungu. I hope you get this hidden message.

    • Okay, I understand. Those in leadership need to be more thoughtful in what they say whether in opposition or government. Some Zambian politicians are not very smart, they don’t think long term.
