Zambia and Russia have signed a memorandum of understanding to waive visa requirements for diplomatic passport holders, a senior government official on Friday said.
Zambia’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Joseph Malanji, said bilateral ties between Zambia and Russia are growing.
Malanji added that waiving visa requirements would increase exchange programmes between the two countries.
Meanwhile, the government will engage Russia on the possibility of setting up a nuclear technological centre in response to climate change, the Zambian minister added.
