 Ndondomeko ya vyaru 
Kufuma waka apo Zambia yikapokera wanangwa pa Okutobala 24, 1964, charu ichi chapeleka wovwiri wa usilikari na wovwiri ku maboma ghanandi pa caru cose. Chomenechomene, Zambia yili na mbiri ya kupeleka wovwiri wa usilikari ku ŵasilikari na maboma agho ghakulimbana kuti ghaŵe na wanangwa mu Africa mose. Wovwiri uwo Zambia wakapeleka ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti caru cawo ciŵe cakutowa mu nyengo ya ufumu wa caru ici, ukaŵa wa nkhondo ndiposo wa ndyali. Wupu wa Zambia Defence Force (ZDF), uwo uli na ŵasilikari ŵa Zambia Army, Zambian Air Force na Zambia National Service, uli na chigaŵa chikuru mu nkhondo zinandi za ku chigaŵa na za pa caru cose mu vyaka vya m'ma 1970 na 1980. Makamaka, ŵasilikari ŵa Zambia ŵapeleka wovwiri ku ŵasilikari pa nkhondo zikuruzikuru za mu Africa nga ni Rhodesian Bush War nangauli mba ku Zambia yayi.

Zambia yili na mbiri yakovwira ŵanthu awo ŵakukhumba kufwatuka mu vyaru vinyake ndipo Kenneth Kaunda uyo wakaŵa purezidenti wa charu ichi, wakayowoyapo kale kuti "Zambia waŵenge wambura wanangwa yayi m'paka charu chose cha Africa chiŵe na wanangwa".

 Initially the two countries had good relations after gaining independence. However, relations have recently been strained. Following the controversial Zimbabwean presidential election of 2008, the late Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa described Mugabe's Zimbabwe as a "regional embarrassment"."Zimbabwe's neighbours" , BBC, June 2008
The former foreign affairs minister, Kabinga Mpande, once said Zambia had lodged a protest against Zimbabwe, against the "sustained malicious campaign against Zambia". But relations have improved tremendously with the election of Michael Sata as President of Zambia.
