This year marks a significant milestone as China and Zambia celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations. The strong bond, often described as an \"all-weather friend\" by Zambia's founding father Kenneth Kaunda, exemplifies the enduring friendship between China and Africa.
One of the cornerstones of this relationship is the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA), whose construction played a crucial role in Zambia's journey to independence. As both nations continue to navigate a world rife with geopolitical tensions, their partnership serves as a stabilizing force.
TAZARA was the first major railway line built to meet the developmental needs of both Zambia and Tanzania. Now, its revitalization promises to bring tangible benefits to the everyday lives of people in both countries, enhancing connectivity and economic opportunities.
