President Paul Kagame has arrived in Livingstone, Zambia for a two-day state visit.

Kagame was upon arrival received by host President Hakainde Hichilema at Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport.

The two Heads of State are expected to hold a tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte followed by a bilateral meeting alongside respective delegations.

Following the bilateral talks, representatives from both delegations will sign seven Memorandums of Understanding (MoU).

On his last day of the visit, Kagame together with host President Hakainde and First Lady Mutinta Hakainde will visit Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is home to one half of the Mosi-oa-Tunya – ‘The Smoke Which Thunders’ – known worldwide as Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River.

They are also expected to conduct a guided tour of the Kazungula Bridge, a road and rail bridge over the Zambezi River between Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

To conclude his visit, Kagame’s last stop will be to the Kazungula One Stop Border Post.

Rwanda and Zambia boast of cordial bilateral relations and have occasionally engaged in high level consultations on issues of strategic importance to both, including on the UN and the African Union.
