Haimbe Refutes Claims of Anti-Zambia Protests at UN Headquarters

Mr Haimbe has since called on Zambians to move beyond political differences arising from the elections and uphold peace, unity and national cohesion.

He says those who voted for and against the government should now move forward together and focus on national development.

Meanwhile, Zambia has used its participation at UNGA81 to strengthen its international partnerships.

Mr Haimbe has signed a Joint Communique with Andorra’s Foreign Affairs Minister Imma Tor Faus establishing diplomatic relations between Zambia and the Principality of Andorra.

The new diplomatic relations are expected to open opportunities for cooperation in tourism, digital governance, financial services, education and climate action.

Zambia has also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthened multilateralism and participated in a high-level discussion on implementation of the Pact for the Future.

Meanwhile, Health Minister Professor Roma Chilengi attended the launch of the Accra Reset High-Level Panel report on reform of the global health architecture.

Mr Haimbe is expected to deliver Zambia’s National Statement on September 28 on behalf of President Hichilema, with strengthened multilateralism expected to feature prominently.

Zambia says its engagements at UNGA81 are aimed at advancing peace, national unity, international cooperation and the Grow Zambia Agenda.
