The African Union (AU) has described President Hakainde Hichilema as a selfless leader committed to uplifting not only the economic standards of Zambia but Africa as a whole.
AU Commission Chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat, said this when he received the Letters of Credence from Zambia’s Ambassador to Ethiopia, Rose Sakala.
Mahamat said President Hichilema’s speech in Paris at the just ended Summit for a New Global Financing Pact has given hope to many African countries in resolving the debt challenges affecting many African countries.
“I am happy that am in regular contact with President Hichilema, especially on a number of continental priorities, including the integration of the African continent,” he said.
Mahamat also thanked President Hichilema for hosting the fourth Mid–Year Coordinating Meeting in July last year at Kenneth Kaunda Wing of Mulungushi Conference Center in Lusaka.
He further said Zambia’s role in the liberation struggle of Africa cannot be overlooked.
Zambia’s Ambassador to Ethiopia, Rose Sakala said Zambia is committed to continue being an active participant in Programmes and projects meant to propel Africa’s development for the benefit of African citizens.
She said President Hakainde Hichilema firmly believed in Africa’s continental integration programmes such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
