Xinhua, April 5, 2017 Adjust font size:

The governments of Zambia and the Czech Republic on Wednesday committed themselves to enhancing bilateral ties.

Harry Kalaba, Zambia's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Czech Ambassador-designate to Zambia Radek Rubes pledged to enhance the ties during a meeting held in Lusaka, the Zambian capital.

The Zambian minister said his country was keen to learn from Czech's advancement in various sectors such as energy, agriculture and manufacturing.

He added that Czech's decision to open up an embassy in Zambia was a clear indication of the confidence the country has in Zambia and assured that the southern African nation remains a beacon of peace on the African continent.

According to him, the signing of a memorandum of understanding in agriculture between the two countries was significant as it comes at a time when the African nation has prioritized the development of the agriculture sector.

On his part, the Czech envoy assured of his government's commitment to enhance bilateral ties with Zambia.

He revealed that Czech's minister responsible for agriculture will be visiting Zambia at the end of this month with a delegation from 10 companies to seek cooperation in the agriculture sector. Endit
