GOVERNMENT has dismissed media reports alleging that the United States of America has imposed a “60-day travel ban” on Zambia.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation Mulambo Haimbe said the reports are false, misleading, and should be dismissed with the contempt they deserve.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation confirms that no formal communication has been received from the Government of the United States indicating any form of travel ban or new restrictions on Zambian citizens or government officials. All existing travel procedures remain in full effect,” he said.
Mr Haimbe urged the media and members of the public to verify information before circulating it and rely on official Government communication channels for updates on immigration and international travel.
“Refrain from sharing unverified reports that may cause unnecessary alarm or undermine diplomatic relations,” he said.
