Today marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Zambia!
Established on October 29, this partnership makes Zambia the first country in southern Africa to forge formal ties with China, laying the foundation for a deep and longstanding friendship. Over the decades, the bond between the two nations has grown stronger, fostering cooperation in various sectors.
One of the most iconic symbols of this enduring relationship is the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, which was built with significant support from China. This railway not only connects Zambia with Tanzania but also represents the broader collaboration between China, Zambia, and the entire African continent, facilitating trade, travel, and cultural exchange.
As we look back on 60 years of togetherness, it's clear that the China-Zambia relationship continues to thrive, paving the way for future generations to build on this incredible legacy. Here's to many more years of friendship and cooperation!
