Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia and the United Republic of Tanzania have signed two Memorandums of Understanding to strengthen cooperation in Immigration matters and combating drug abuse and trafficking. The MOU was signed at the just ended Second Session of the Tanzania-Zambia Joint Permanent Commission on Defence and Security in Unguja, Zanzibar.<\/p>\n

Minister of Defence Ambrose Lufuma was accompanied by the Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Affairs Jack Mwiimbu, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence Norman Chipakupaku, Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Joseph Akafumba, High Commissioner of Zambia in Tanzania Matthews Jere and other government officials at the JPC.<\/p>\n

Mr Lufuma said that the two countries had convened to discuss pertinent issues that border on peace and security in both nations. The Minister of Defence highlighted that both countries have been experiencing issues of drug and human trafficking as well as illegal immigration hence the agreements.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it is right now, we are faced with illegal migration, human trafficking, drug trafficking, trafficking of firearms and all those issues that tend to destabilise countries,\u201d said Mr Lufuma. The Minister of Defence urged both countries to ensure that the resolutions passed at the JPC are implemented within the agreed time frames.<\/p>\n

And United Republic of Tanzania Minister of Defence and National Security Stergomena Tax said that the resolutions made at the second session are a continuation of the efforts of both Heads of State, Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan and President Hakainde Hichilema.<\/p>\n

\u201d As you may be aware both Presidents visited the two countries and a lot of issues were agreed upon, some of the agreements were in the Defence and Security sector, and instructions were given to us to ensure that the Agreements are implemented,\u201d said Dr Tax.<\/p>\n

She stated that because of Security concerns that exist in the region and in both countries, the JPC has put up strategies and signed agreements to help both countries address the insecurity.<\/p>\n

Dr Tax observed that illegal immigration is another problem facing both Zambia and Tanzania who share a substantial long border. \u201cPeople come in through Tanzania without going through legal channels of Immigrants and enter into the country, this has to be curbed hence the agreements,\u201d She said.<\/p>\n

Dr Tax was accompanied at the JPC by Permanent Secretary Ministry of Defence and National Security Dr Faraji Mnyepe, Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Kasper Kaspar Mmuya and other senior Government officials.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Jack Mwiimbu expressed gratitude to the Tanzanian Government for gifting Zambia with Twenty (20) Hector\u2019s of Land at Kwala Dry Port in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Mr Mwiimbu said that the land will help enhance trade and commerce in Zambia. He added that the land at Kwala Dry Port will enhance Zambia\u2019s economy through trade and ensure smooth flow of imports and exports to Zambia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 20 Hector\u2019s of land given to Zambia by the President of Tanzania will help enhance trade and commerce,\u201d said Mr Mwiimbu.<\/p>\n
