RB Joins Club De Madrid

Former President, Rupiah Banda has been admitted to the Club de Madrid, the prestigious organization of democratic former Heads of State and Government.

President Banda, who left office last September, joins other eminent leaders, including former US President Bill Clinton, former UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev, and former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell.

Club de Madrid has become the world’s largest forum of former Presidents and Prime Ministers committed to sharing their experience in government and to overcome the challengers of leading and decision-making in contemporary politics worldwide.

The Club de Madrid has in the past addressed issues of global concern such as climate change and sustainable development, social cohesion, terrorism, the role of women in peace and security.

Under the motto “Democracy that delivers”, Club de Madrid has also provided peer to peer counsel, strategic support and technical advice to leaders and institutions working towards democratic transition and consolidation.

Wim Kok, President of the Club de Madrid, says in his invitation to President Banda that on behalf of the other 87 democratic former Heads of State and Government, he had the pleasure of formally inviting President Banda to become a full Member of the Club.

And President Banda says it is a huge honour and one that makes him happy as it is recognition from amongst his political colleagues around the world.
