Relations are based on their shared experiences as British colonies,both before,after and during the struggle for independence.

The United States works closely with the Zambian Government to defeat the HIV/AIDS pandemic that is ravaging Zambia,to promote economic growth and development,and to effect political reform needed to promote responsive and responsible government. The United States is also supporting the government's efforts to root out corruption. Zambia is a beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
