President Edgar Lungu will this Friday, August 18, travel to Rwanda to attend Paul Kagame’s inauguration after which he will proceed to South Africa.

Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba says President Lungu had accepted the invitation from his counterpart in the spirit of cooperation and solidarity.

He said the visit would also present an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss many developmental issues of mutual interest and the security situation in the Great Lakes Region.

Kalaba told a media briefing yesterday that the President was also scheduled to attend the 37th Annual Southern African Development Community -SADC- Summit in Pretoria from 19th to 20th August, 2017.

“The Head of State will proceed to South Africa on 18th August, 2017 after President Kagame’s inauguration ceremony. The SADC Summit is running under the theme ‘Partnering with the private sector in developing industry and regional value chains’,” said Kalaba.
