SATA Apologises To Angola Over MMD’s Support For Civil War
President Michael Sata has apologised to Angola over the decision by the former ruling party MMD to side with the late former rebel leader Jonas Savimbi during the civil war in that country.
President Sata says he has sent First Republican President Kenneth Kaunda to apologise on behalf of Zambia to the Angolan government for the MMD government’s treacherous behaviour.
He described the MMD’s conduct against Angola during the civil war as greedy and fraudulent.
The President was speaking at State House Wednesday morning when he received letters of credence from Ambassador Designate of the Republic of Angola to Zambia Balbina Malheiro Silva.
President Sata says it is a shame that Zambia is not benefiting from the eight million United States dollar refinery that Angola has built.
He also says the Patriotic Front-PF government looks forward to opening up more trade links with Angola.
Earlier, Ambassador Silva reaffirmed Angola’s commitment to strengthening economic cooperation with Zambia.
