President Edgar Lungu says he is yet to take stock and find out the status of the Zambia and Namibia maize and beef export deal respectively.
The President said this is because the country went to an election at the time the deal was discussed and that his administration is just settling into office.
ZANIS reports that the Head of State was speaking to journalists shortly after holding private talks with his Namibian counterpart Hage Geingob in Addis Ababa Ethiopia last evening.
“On army worms which have also invaded Namibia, I have discussed certain areas of cooperation and development and one of the things we were talking about are the heavy rains because it is already flooding in Zambia,” he said.
President Lungu said there was need to start getting ready in view of eminent floods before it is too late.
“Will we achieve the yield that we wanted to? I don’t know, but if we do not talk to the technocrats we will not know until it is too late,” he said.
And President Lungu has said that he has discussed certain issues and areas of cooperation with Namibia.
The head of state said the cooperation that exists between the two countries is at an enhanced level, and the region between Zambia, Namibia and the west is what both countries were looking at in order to share ideas.
The President said Namibia and Zambia share common interests and the bilateral talks created an opportunity for the two countries to take advantage and clarify certain matters.
Lungu added that the bilateral talks in Addis Ababa with Namibia also created an opportunity to cut on costs to fly to that country and vice versa.
“For me every opportunity with my brother Dr Geingob and others is a time to meet because flying into Namibia is expensive and likewise flying into Lusaka is also expensive but when we meet here and have a five minutes tete-a-tete, it will do,” he said.
The two leaders are among other heads of state and government attending the 28th session ordinary summit for the African Union which started on January 22 and ends today January 31, 2017
Were they talking about Dora Siliya having snatched the husband to the President’s daughter? Nothing of National was discussed. Illegitimate Lungu is campaigning for recognition after stealing the 2016 Elections and illegally and unconstitutionally inaugurated himself into power. Lungu is haunted by illegitimacy and is trying to wish away the Petition but it wont work. Lungu has to respect the Zambian Constitution and allow the Petitioners to be heard without fail.
Buying faces? after giving Gaingob 2 bulls that were displayed on nbc tv, follows balateral talks – the suspect misfit President try his best thing to get out of the cold wilderness of isolation.
