Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda but was reopened in 1976 only to fold up again in 1982. In the interim, an Honorary Consulate was set up to take care of most of Ghana’s interests in Zambia, with the Ghana Mission in Harare, Zimbabwe, overseeing its activities.

The decision to reopen the Lusaka Mission was informed by the desire to translate the cordial political relations existing between Ghana and Zambia into mutually beneficial gains and expand the sphere of engagement between the two countries. Additionally, the Zambian Government facilitated the process by fulfilling its promise to establish a High Commission in Accra.
