Vice President Constantino Chiwenga visited Zambia Friday to share condolences after former President Edgar Lungu died. President Mnangagwa sent Chiwenga to meet with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema at State House. The two countries share deep connections through history and blood ties. Only the Zambezi River separates the nations but they remain like family. Chiwenga said Zimbabwe feels sad about losing their neighbor and brother.

Zambia helped Zimbabwe during the fight for independence from white rule. The country welcomed Zimbabwean freedom fighters and gave them safe places to stay. Both nations once carried similar names as northern and southern territories. Chiwenga reminded President Hichilema that problems affecting one country hurt the other. He asked Zambian leaders to stay strong during this difficult time.

President Hichilema thanked Zimbabwe for showing support during their loss. The two countries built many projects together like Kariba Dam and railway systems. Ancient trading routes connected the regions before modern borders existed. Young people from both nations need to keep building stronger relationships. Edgar Lungu passed away June 5 at a South African hospital.
