These relations are as result of the foundation which was set by our founding fathers.<\/p>\n<p>The Embassy of the Republic of Zambia in Kinshasa, DRC, was established in 1965.&nbsp; It is founded on national and international principles designed to facilitate the execution of core functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that among others, include the promotion and provision of consular services, promotion of Zambia\u2019s interests in general, bilateral, multilateral and international cooperation. The mandate of the Mission extends to five (5) countries of extra accreditation namely; Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, The Republic of Congo (Congo Brazzaville), Cameroun, and The Central African Republic. Since 1965 when the Embassy was established, fourteen (14) Ambassadors have represented the Republic of Zambia in the DRC. In addition to the Embassy in Kinshasa, The Republic of Zambia also has a Consulate General in Lubumbashi, which provides consular services in Katanga, a Region which shares a long frontier with Zambia.<\/p>\n<p>The Consular Department of the Zambian Embassy in Kinshasa offers consular services to Congolese nationals intending to visit Zambia and to Zambian citizens in the host country. Generally, the Embassy through the Consular Department provides a range of services such as visa and passport processing as well as document legalization, marriage registration, matters relating to Zambian nationality, birth of a child and many more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
