President Mnangagwa arrives in Zambia



Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in the country for a one-day working visit.

The special aircraft carrying President Mnangagwa touched down at 09:35hrs and later inspected a quarter guard.

President Mnangagwa was welcomed at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (KKIA) by Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji.

Mr. Mnangagwa is currently paying courtesy calls on all SADC leaders after taking over power from Robert Mugabe.

President Mnangagwa visited South Africa last month and met with President Jacob Zuma and was recently in Angola to meet that country’s President Joao Lourenco.

Earlier, Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji said Zambia and Zimbabwe have a lot in common and that the two countries are working on further deepening the existing cordial relations between them.

Zambia and Zimbabwe share special bilateral relations and have continued to grow.

President Mnangagwa is expected to lay wreaths at the Presidential Burial site at the Embassy Park.

He is later expected to pay a courtesy call on President Edgar Lungu where the two are expected to have open talks.

President Mnangagwa is expected to leave the country at 16 hours Zambian time.
