RB Asks Kaunda to Represent Zambia

President Rupiah Banda on April 23 nominated first President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda to represent Zambia at the dinner to be hosted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Commonwealth.

President Banda said it was his wish to use the services and experience of former Heads of State in various local and international engagements and had thus nominated Dr. Kaunda to represent Zambia at the 60th anniversary of the Commonwealth in London because of the vast knowledge and interaction, which the first President had with the Commonwealth.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will host a Dinner on April 28, 2009 to be attended by three Representatives of the Commonwealth Member Countries. President Banda has also nominated Lusaka Lawyer Ms Maria Dras-Neves and Zambian High Commissioner to London Mr. Anderson Chibwa to accompany Dr. Kaunda to the function. Dr Kaunda turns 85 years old on April 28, 2009.
