Britain is looking at formalising and boosting its trade
relations with Zimbabwe once it leaves the European Union.
This was said by the British ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mrs
Melanie Robinson after paying a courtesy call on Speaker of the National
Assembly Advocate Jacob Mudenda this morning.
“The Honourable Speaker and I had a good discussion this
morning and the first thing we discussed was the continuation of trade between
the UK and Zimbabwe.
“We have excellent trade relationships at the moment over
US$400 million of trade in goods from Zimbabwe go to the UK and just recently I
was in the Eastern Highlands looking at one of the tea estates of which 95
percent of that tea goes to London and we were talking about ratifying our
agreement to continue that trade so that the UK and Zimbabwe can continue the
same level of trade after the UK has left the European Union so I was assured
by the Speaker that that process is underway,” Mrs Robinson said. Herald
