Good afternoon from Buckingham Palace & Horseguards, London!

🇿🇲 Today, The King held an audience with The President of the Republic of Zambia at Buckingham Palace.

This morning we had an audience with HM King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. We reaffirmed the need for deepening relations between our 2 countries as #Zambia commemorates the 60th independence Anniversary. 🇿🇲🇬🇧

Had a great conversation with my Zambian colleague and competitor Mubita Nawa for SG who has an important vision. Critical that whomever wins, we see more strong African leadership throughout INTERPOL to make sure regional priorities are addressed properly.

Held discussions with Alex Garrard from Amia Capital, one of the reps of our Eurobond Holders, who last month, voted in favour of restructuring our 3 Eurobonds, effectively giving 🇿🇲 more headroom on our fiscal space. We encouraged Amia Capital to continue investing in #Zambia.🇿🇲

Thank you UKinZambia for making this possible. Your funding support is timely, especially at a time like this.

Farewell and best wishes in your future endeavors High Commissioner! Keep flying the #DestinationZambia flag wherever you go and do tell the world about #Zambia’s beautiful national parks, abundant wildlife, thundering waterfalls and majestic rivers. #LowerZambezi #VisitZambia

Honour to accompany President Hakainde Hichilema & First Lady Mutinta Hichilema on their UK visit including to the Palace for their audience with HM King Charles III. And so, my final duty as British High Commissioner is done. It's been a privilege to serve my country, in Zambia. 🇬🇧🤝🏾🇿🇲

It was full-circle catching up with Nicholas Woolley Saïd Business School on his last day as British High Commissioner to #Zambia, having also been there the day he began in #Lusaka in 2019. The relationship between the #UK and #Zambia has been utterly transformed in his 5 years in post...

Congratulations to Prime Minister Keir Starmer on becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I look forward to our shared work in support of freedom and democracy around the world, and to further strengthening the special relationship between our two countries.

Change begins now.

Tonight, in his first few hours as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer has spoken to allies and partners across the world. The UK stands ready to continue to work with them to deliver security and growth at home and abroad.

Hearty congratulations to Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer MP, on becoming Prime Minister of the UK. We look forward to strengthening our bilateral cooperation & shared commitment to economic prosperity for the benefit of our people.🇿🇲🇬🇧

I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump's rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.

One month since I left Zambia.. Still adjusting to new surroundings..

Congratulations Muzala Samukonga! #Paris2024 #OlympicGames 🇿🇲

Pleased to join Commander Singh onboard Indian Navy’s frontline frigate, INS Tabar, on its arrival into London on a four-day official visit.
