Dr Kenneth David Kaunda said “your contribution as President can make a huge difference not only for Ghana but for Africa and the world as a whole. Your becoming President of Ghana has come at a very remarkable time for Ghana and Africa.”

Dr Kaunda also highlighted the role Dr Kwame Nkrumah played towards the independence of Zambia, and urged African leaders to always help each other when in need.

“The Bible tells us to love your neighbour as yourself. That neighbour could come from another colour, origin or religion. They may even be from a different political party, but we are all brothers and sisters. We work together to do our part in God’s work. With love, we can overcome great challenges,” he said.

He said President Akufo-Addo’s visit “nourishes the deep relationship that has been between us for a long time. We have collaborated in various fields of human relations.

"This visit can enable the governments and peoples of Ghana and Zambia expand and deepen co-operation in various areas of human endeavour.”

On his part, President Akufo-Addo said: “So long as you are alive, and somebody like me comes to Zambia, I have to come and pay my respects, see how you are doing and thank God for your life and for the contribution you have made for the independence and development of our continent.”

He further believed that African leaders must work together to ensure development and improvement in the living standards of Africans.
