The Minister Foreign Affairs and International Trade,
Retired Lieutenant General Sibusiso Moyo has held talks with a visiting
American informal working group which has an interest on Zimbabwe.
The group, comprising experts on Zimbabwe and former
Ambassadors, is in the country to understand what is happening on the ground
and hear the views and aspirations of different sections of society and
stakeholders on the coming harmonised elections.
Popular faces making up the group include former
ambassadors to Zimbabwe, Mr Bruce Wharton and Mr William Bellamy, as well as
former ambassador to Botswana, Mr Michel Gavin, who are all now retired but
have significant attachment to Zimbabwe and may be called on to contribute
their opinions on issues relating to Zimbabwe.
Speaking after the meeting that lasted for more than one
hour, Minister Moyo said Zimbabwe is in constant touch with the USA to share
information specifically on the vision of the new political dispensation and
the coming elections.
Leader of the group, Mr Bellamy and Mr Wharton said the
group is keen to know about the preparations of the harmonised elections and it
will meet various stakeholders in the country, including the opposition and
civic society.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s new political order has
generated a lot of interest from different parts of the globe with his mantra
that Zimbabwe is open for business and his commitment to hold free, fair and
credible elections having opened a floodgate
of election observers into the country. zbc
