She said this during an in-house workshop at the Zambian Embassy in Ethiopia on Wednesday, according to a statement issued by Inutu Mwanza, the First Secretary for Press and Tourism at the Zambian Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Sakala said that while the President was the vision carrier, it was important that the diplomats joined him by becoming active implementors of his vision, particularly economic diplomacy.
“For only then can we prosper our country and uplift the socio-economic well being of our people back home,” she said.
