Labour Minister Fackson Shamenda has noted the importance of diplomacy in all sectors of the country’s development.

Mr. Shamenda said Zambians should take diplomacy seriously if the country is to develop.

He said diplomacy is a daily etiquette which all workers in government and private including general citizens should apply.

Mr. Shamenda further admitted that most government offices lack diplomacy in their operation.

And Dr. Elizabeth Nkumbula challenged Ministers to take up Diplomatic Studies so that they can carry out their work effectively.

She was speaking during the presentation of Diplomacy certificates to senior officials from NAPSA, Workers Compensation Control Board and the Ministry of Labour.

The over 20 recipients attended the Diplomacy course at Zambia Institute of Diplomacy and International Studies.

    • You’re right ba Shamenda, but please start with your boss… he’s Zambia’s No.1 embarassment

    • Please ensure this message gets read to the illiterate IDI0T in state house. Of all Zambians, he is the one in most need of this advice!

  1. contradictions everyday, talking about diplomacy when there was no diplomacy on labour day speech and yesterday in l/stone.

  2. Iwe Shamenda, tell Kambwili and your president first about diplomacy and then come back and tell us, OK?

  3. Don’t ignore the cultural orientation of any group of people. Certain societies are more open than others. Zambians have a tendency to call a spade a spade. That too is a virtue, not just diplomacy.

  4. Hahahahahaha!

    A CL0WN making a statement for a J0KE of a government headed by a M0R0NIC village IDI0T in state house is trying to tell us about DIPL0MACY?

    I am falling down LAUGHING at this STUPIDlTY!
