The New Heritage Party (NHP) wishes to congratulate President Hichilema and President Xi on the former’s most successful and comprehensive state visit.
By Chishala Kateka | NHP President.
Lusaka, Sept 15 – The NHP takes special note of the upgrading of the all-weather Zambia-China Friendship to a higher level of “Strategic and Cooperative Partnership”!
“We continued with a series of interactions with the People’s Republic of China when later this morning, we had the honor of meeting His Excellency Mr. Li Qiang, the Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of China, with whom we engaged in bilateral discussions.” – HH
This is as it should be and is long overdue. We also note with cautious optimism the number of important memoranda that were signed by the two countries aimed at enhancing diplomatic, economic and global peace, human development and environmental transformation to mention but a few.
This is most commendable and all our technocrats that worked hard to make this historic trip a success, deserve our country’s collective congratulations.
In the meantime, the mere signing of agreements is of no use if the contents are not immediately followed up, acted upon and implemented.
The Zambian people are anxious for relief in many areas of their lives especially with the economy, and it would not do for their hopes to be dashed through unnecessary government red tape, lethargic attitudes towards work and procrastination.
For now, congratulations President Hakainde Hichilema and your team!
