Zambia's foreign minister has criticised a lack of diplomacy from envoys after the US ambassador used a press conference to announce that Washington was cutting medical aid to the southern African country due to the "systemic theft" of donated medication.
The US ambassador to Zambia, Michael Gonzales, last week told a media briefing that Washington would cut $50 million (€45 million) in annual aid to the nation's health sector because the state had failed to stop the theft of life-saving drugs provided by the US.
