Tuesday, 10 June 2026 · Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
On 10 June 2026, Consul General H.E. Mr. Richard Chinyama Njolomba, accompanied by First Secretary Mr. Maclean Afumba, attended the graduation ceremony of the American University of Ras Al Khaimah (AURAK) — joining students, families, faculty, and distinguished guests in marking a proud milestone for the Class of 2026.
The Consulate had been invited by AURAK following the official visit and discussions on collaboration held in May 2026. The ceremony celebrated graduates who completed their studies across a range of disciplines, in an atmosphere defined by pride, accomplishment, and gratitude.
“The occasion was a powerful reminder of what education makes possible — and of why this Consulate is committed to opening those doors for Zambians.”
During the ceremony, the Consul General joined university officials and other dignitaries in congratulating the graduating class on their achievements. The event was also an occasion to honour the educators, parents, and guardians whose steadfast support had been integral to the graduates’ success. Outstanding students who demonstrated exceptional academic performance and leadership were recognised in a special tribute.
