We were honoured to host the UK Minister for Development and Women and Equalities, Anneliese Dodds, during her current state visit to Zambia. We had the privilege of showcasing the National Archives of Zambia's exhibition, "Zambia Unveiled: 60 Years of a Nation," which took the Minister and her delegation on a journey through six decades of Zambia's history. We curated this exhibition with the support of the Irish Embassy, SAIPAR, and Stanbic Bank, and it highlights the nation's triumphs, challenges, and defining moments through the medium of newspaper archives dating back 60 years. We were proud to share this story with the Minister, accompanied by Acting British High Commissioner Sam Waldock, Irish Ambassador Bronagh Carr, and other government officials. The exhibition is open to the public at the National Archives Zambia, weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is free. #Zambia #UKMinister #UKForeignOffice
