LUSAKA, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Zambian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Stanley Kakubo resigned on Tuesday.

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has accepted the resignation and thanked Kakubo for his services in the government.

In a statement, the president implored the former minister to continue to serve diligently in his capacity as a lawmaker of the governing party.

Kakubo disclosed the reasons for his resignation on social media, saying that he resigned "in view of the matter that is currently in the media regarding malicious claims over a business transaction between my private family business and our business partner with whom we still have good relations."
