Mr Hichilema, who has officially assumed the chairmanship of the SADC organ for politics, defence and security cooperation said like his predecessors he would strive to ensure that stability was maintained in the SADC region.
The President has taken over from Namibian President Dr. Hage Geingob.
He said stability was key to economic growth in SADC countries and that it was important for leaders to ensure that they maintained peace.
President Hichilema said instability anywhere is instability everywhere and that Africa had seen instability in West Africa, including in the SADC region in Mozambique.
He said instability made it impossible to deliver better lives and that it was important for countries to rise to the occasion and ensure that peace prevailed.
President Hichilema said he would work closely with his predecessor, Dr. Geingob, to gain from his experiences.
