 Felo Kantyimen wa Wimen As the Golden Party of Zambia we would like to call upon the Chinese Government to consider canceling Zambia's debt to the People's Republic of China. We need to agree that Zambia is currently locked in a very vicious poverty cycle. Resources are being divated towards the repayment of debt and there can be no country that can develop at a desired rate or speed with the current level of indebtedness. China has been an all-weather friend. As a party, we realize the full extent of Chinese contributions to Zambia, bilaterally, multilaterally, economically, public and private. China has stood with us through the building of Tazara, China was with us. Once again, from an opposition leader, not even from a leader from government, an opposition leader and indeed a new generation of politicians in Zambia I'm asking the People's Republic of China to cancel Zambia's debt. As the Chinese proverb says a good neighbor is a treasure. Yes, Zambia and China are far apart but China you've been a treasure to Zambia. And once again I call upon you to stand with Zambia. The Chinese understand that there can be no win-win solution in as far as the debt burden is concerned for the Republic of Zambia. Zambia will continue to lose. And so once again in the spirit of brotherliness we call upon you to cancel the debt so that Zambia can realize half of the economic potential. This is Jackson Silavwe from the opposition calling China to consider canceling our debt. I thank you.
