A meeting to ease border tensions

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zambian and Angolan defence and security officials will meet later this month to discuss tense border relations, Zambian Defence Minister Chitalu Sampa was quoted in news reports as saying on Tuesday.

    "Arrangements are being made to convene a joint permanent commission on defence and security this month to discuss mutual security concerns," he told a press conference.

    The Zambian defence minister declined to comment on the worsening security situation, saying the two governments had resolved not to issue any statement until after the meeting later this month.
