He said:<\/p>\n<p>Presided over a virtual conference for the #SADC Organ on Politics, Defence &amp; Security. Discussed security challenges in Eastern DRC &amp; ongoing establishment of SADC Mission in DRC (SAMIDRC). It was good to get updates on previous &amp; upcoming elections in our region.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential spokesperson George Charamba said the virtual conference hosted by Hichilema was \u201ca procedural meeting\u201d and not something the country\u2019s detractors should be excited about. He wrote on X:<\/p>\n<p>To assist those falling prey to disinformation by confused fugitives: This is a procedural meeting that Zambia as Chair calls for from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>The Troika comprises Zambia (chair), Namibia (outgoing) and Tanzania (incoming). The Organ Troika reviews the security situation in SADC and also discusses SEOM reports relating to recent elections.<\/p>\n<p>Once there is agreement on SEOM reports, the Troika leaders then sign the SEOM reports for submission and consideration by States covered by SEOM reports under consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The recipient states then give their official responses which will be tabled before the full SADC Summit in Harare next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
