ZAMBIAN DIPLOMATS: ARE THEY NECESSARY?

President Banda just appointed some new diplomatic representatives for Zambia. Personally I think our role in certain countries should be reviewed in order to cut costs. While I appreciate the fact that we need to maintain relationships in this global economy, our country is in some cases not able to sustain the operational costs of our embassies.
Apart from cost, we also need to look at the mission of our embassies. Why exactly do they exist? How can we effectively use them to further relationships and development?
