President Hichilema bids farewell to Nicholas Woolley, the outgoing High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Zambia

In a heartfelt farewell, Zambia has honored His Excellency Nicholas Woolley, the outgoing High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Zambia, who concluded his tour of duty today.

President Hakainde Hichilema highlighted the deepening of government-to-government and people-to-people relationships between Zambia and the United Kingdom during Woolley’s tenure. These relationships are rooted in shared values such as democracy, the rule of law, liberty, and the fight against corruption.

High Commissioner Woolley played a crucial role in supporting Zambia through some of its most challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic, debt restructuring negotiations, and the El Niño-induced drought that impacted food and energy security.

“We express our gratitude to the High Commissioner and the people of the United Kingdom for their pivotal role during these challenges,” President Hichilema stated.

As Woolley returns to the UK, President Hichilema extended his best wishes and gratitude to the British Government, the people, and the Crown for their continued support to Zambia.

  1. Woolley, being a career diplomat, was confined to his office. I suggested no less than 3 projects which could improve the lives of poor Zambians, and create employment…TO NO AVAIL I hope his successor will be most receptive and empathetic.

Every country in the world could complain about the past you learn and move on don’t pass on poison on to the next generation if you care about them you learn from it and each generation have to deal with the world as it is today. You cannot keep using the excuse of yesterday’s generation free you mind for your sake for the continent sake. India Singapore even China they moved on moving on do not mean forgetting.
