{Zambia through its foreign Affairs Minister, Harry Kalaba, is scheduled to hold consultative talks on the South Sudan peace talks with his counterparts in Rwanda and Uganda who are actively involved in the negotiations as members of the International Great Lakes Region, IGIHE has established.}

“As Zambia comes on board in this process, the government needs to consult heavily in Uganda, Rwanda and other countries as this will be helpful to her effective contribution”, Mr Kalaba disclosed this to ZANIS after holding a closed-door bilateral talks with his counterpart Amina Mohamed in Nairobi, Kenya, yesterday.

Mr Kalaba said the Zambian government has been given a detailed report on the peace process in South Sudan which he will present to President Lungu.

Mr Kalaba also revealed that Rwanda is expected to launch its maiden flights into Lusaka on March 27 adding his visit to Rwanda will also seek to establish how best to further open up a trade corridor between the two countries.

He further added that there are a lot of issues of common interest to be discussed between Zambia and Rwanda because Kigali will be opening a mission in Zambia which will call for a smoothening of co-operation as the people of the two countries begin to integrate at various levels.
