Zambian Missions Abroad

The Republic of Zambia maintains a network of diplomatic missions across the world that represent its interests, strengthen bilateral and multilateral relations, and assist Zambian citizens overseas.

Below is a directory of Zambia's missions, grouped by region. The full official list is maintained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Links open in a new tab.

Understanding mission types

Zambia's overseas posts carry different titles depending on whom they represent and where. The colour beside each mission below matches its type.

Embassy

The principal diplomatic mission in the capital of a foreign state, led by an Ambassador, handling political, economic and consular relations between the two governments.

High Commission

Functionally the same as an embassy, but the title used between two Commonwealth member states; it is headed by a High Commissioner.

Permanent Mission

A mission accredited not to a country but to an international organisation such as the United Nations, led by a Permanent Representative.

Consulate-General

A subordinate office, usually in a major city other than the capital, focused on consular services — visas, passports, assistance to nationals and trade promotion.
