A Special Envoy from Kenya Fred Matiangi said this when he met President at State House.

During the meeting Matiangi who is also Minister of Information, Communication and Technology disclosed to President Lungu that he had been sent by President Kenyatta to officially make the confirmation of his gracing Zambia’s International Trade Fair that is scheduled to take place from the 1st to 7th of July.

Matiangi has also disclosed that President Kenyatta will come with a delegation of the private sector and business community in a bid to strengthen two business linkages between Zambia and Kenya.

He states that this is besides a special message for President Lungu which he says the Head of State himself will deliver in person.

And President Lungu says though he will meet President Kenyatta in South Africa on Friday for the Africa Union (AU) Summit, he is glad to have a delegation from Kenya.

President Lungu says he is more than glad to host the entourage from Kenya and has since urged them to feel at home.

And Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda told journalists after the meeting that the special envoy has also brought a message from President Kenyatta that he remains committed to the peace process in South Sudan and Burundi.
