“As a Mission, we are encouraging all those (people) who lost their Zambian citizenship after acquiring citizenship of another country to apply for Bestowal of Citizenship. And let me take this opportunity to encourage you all fellow Zambians to be good ambassadors of promoting Zambia to the outside world. As Zambians, let us take it upon ourselves to change the way others think about Zambia. We, in the diaspora, are the best people to market Zambia. All of us are here to improve the image of Zambia, let us show true commitment to this aim. It starts with you and me,” she said.
