President of Zimbabwe|Nov 02, 2026 10:59
Today, I had the pleasure of addressing Zimbabwe's Ambassadors at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC), following the successful Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Senior Management and Ambassadors' Retreat and Strategic Review Meeting.
Guided by our theme, "From Strategy to Results: Advancing Zimbabwe's National Interests through Coordinated, Accountable and Results-Driven Diplomacy," my message to our diplomats was clear: serving on diplomatic missions is no child’s play, and it is certainly not a holiday. My administration demands tangible, principled, and pragmatic results.
Our embassies are strategic platforms tasked with fast-tracking our national development agenda through the promotion of trade, investment, and tourism. In strict liaison with relevant offices back home, our diplomats must serve as launchpads that protect Zimbabwe's national interests based on win-win benefits.
While we maintain our stance that Zimbabwe is a friend to all and an enemy to none, we are also making significant diplomatic milestones. Our successful election to the UN Security Council proves that we are a respected member of the international community. Furthermore, Zimbabwe will proudly host the AfCFTA Council of Ministers in 2027. As we assume leadership roles like the COMESA Chairmanship, we must carry the collective duty of leaving no one and no place behind.
Crucially, I have challenged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to review our National Diaspora Policy. Our diplomats must show deep humanity to all Zimbabweans visiting or living near our missions. The diaspora is a vital pillar in building our country, and they deserve our utmost support.
Every mission must play its part through timely reporting and strategic vigilance against emerging threats. Zimbabwe remains open for business, and global capital is safe here. As our Ambassadors return to their stations, let us remain united in our commitment to economic diplomacy and national development.
