The Republic of Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa, surrounded by the Democratic Republic of Congo in the north, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe in the east, Botswana and Namibia in the south and Angola in the west. Its capital city is Lusaka. From the end of the 19th century it was known as the British Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia. In 1964 it became an independent republic, renamed Zambia, whose first president was Kenneth Kaunda. In 2010 the World Bank named Zambia as one of the world’s fastest economically reformed countries.
The first stamps of the independent Zambia were issued in 1964.
