Zambia President Hakainde Hichilema has arrived in the United Republic of Tanzania ahead of a serie of bilateral meetings.

Hichilema was welcomed by Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan at the state house.

Hichilema said the trip is a continuation of the policy of economic diplomacy that has already borne fruit in bringing jobs and opportunities for the two countries.

“The two sister Republics have enjoyed warm bilateral relations and it is our intention to further cement them for the benefit of our two nations and peoples,” said Hichilema.
