His Excellency, Mr. Rupiah Banda, President of the Republic of Zambia, will on Monday (today) leave for Botswana for a two-day official visit at the invitation of His Excellency, Lieutenant-General Seretse Khama Ian Khama, President of the Republic of Botswana.

The President is expected to arrive in Gaborone on Monday afternoon and he will later in the evening be hosted for dinner by his counterpart. On Tuesday, President Banda will officially open the Serowe Institute of Health Sciences in Serowe, Botswana.
