U.S. Embassy Lusaka, Zambia

The United States and Zambia have enjoyed good relations since Zambia’s independence from Great Britain. Despite high levels of poverty, Zambia successfully made the transition from one-party rule to democracy in 1991 and provides a safe haven to refuges from throughout Africa, while the United States has sought to bolster Zambia’s prospects through economic and humanitarian assistance.
