PRESIDENT Mnangagwa yesterday sent a congratulatory message to Zambian President-elect Mr Hakainde Hichilema who was declared winner of the neighbouring country’s presidential elections.
In his letter dated August 16, the President said the election of Mr Hichilema is testimony of the confidence that voters have in him.
“As you assume your term of office, I wish to assure you of my availability to work closely with you to solidify and deepen the cordial relations that exist between our two sister Republics, for the mutual benefit of our two peoples.
“I also wish to assure you of my readiness to work closely with you at the regional, continental and international levels as we seek to advance the ideals of development, peace and stability.
“Let me take this opportunity to wish you personal good and health success in the discharge of the onerous responsibilities of your high office,” the President said.
Mr Hichilema secured a landslide victory over incumbent Edgar Lungu in Zambia’s presidential election that were held last week.
