Zambia and Russia have signed a memorandum of understanding to waive visa requirements for diplomatic passport holders, a senior government official said on Friday.

Zambia’s foreign affairs minister Joseph Malanji reiterated that bilateral ties between his country and Russia are growing, adding that waiving visa requirements would increase exchange programs between the two countries.

Meanwhile, the government will engage Russia on the possibility of setting up a nuclear technological center in response to climate change, the Zambian minister added.
