President Emmerson Mnangagwa has returned home from New
York, United States, where he attended the 73rd United Nations General
Assembly.
President Mnangagwa said the prospects for closer
cooperation with the international community and prospective investors are very
bright following his engagement and re-engagement with world leaders and
business people in the United States at the just ended UN General Assembly
visit in New York.
He was speaking soon after arrival at the Robert Gabriel
Mugabe International Airport in Harare today.
President Mnangagwa’s visit to New York saw him meeting
several groups of people, including the Zimbabwean diaspora, individual private
investors, leaders of multilateral institutions, leaders from other countries
as well as those that are working with Zimbabwe for economic revival.
This was an opportunity to push his vision of economic
revival while at the same time pushing United Nations business.
On arrival back home he was met by the two Vice Presidents
Cde Kembo Mohadi and Retired General Dr Constantino Chiwenga, several
government ministers, service chiefs and senior government officials including
Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda.
The presence of the new dispensation at the UN annual
gathering saw Cde Mnangagwa changing the rhetoric for Zimbabwe as he delivered
a speech that was constructive, inclusive and welcoming pushing that Zimbabwe
needs partners for its economic revival and growth.
He impressed on the need for Zimbabwe to alleviate poverty
and called on countries putting sanctions to third world countries to
reconsider as they are not serving the interests of the UN in fighting hunger.
His address at the UN General Assembly has also sent
positive signals to the investing community that met with him either at his
hotel room in Manhattan or on the sidelines of the general assembly at the UN
Headquarters. zbc
