President Edgar Lungu says Zambia draws her inspiration from Israel. The Head of State is currently on a 5-day visit in Israel on the invitation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“My faith and the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation held new appeal as I knelt and prayed at the Tomb where Jesus Christ was buried in Jerusalem. As I offered my prayers, I rededicated my life to follow my Saviour and recommitted my family into God’s hands. I also thanked God Almighty for having brought me to the Office of President at such a time as this. I humbled myself and asked for more wisdom as I lead the great nation of Zambia.” Said President Lungu on a post on his Facebook page

Lungu describes the invitation to Israel as historic has since met Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President of Israel Reuven Rivlin.
