Responding to a question on why he was taking numerous foreign trips, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said it is necessary for him because Zimbabwe has suffered as an isolated nation.
In a response posted on his Facebook account, Mnangagwa said the new Zimbabwe must embrace the international community in order to secure crucial foreign investment. Said Mnangagwa:
I have seen some comments here asking why these foreign trips are necessary at this time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I appreciate your opinions. Let us remember where we were, and how we suffered as an isolated nation. In this new era Zimbabwe is open to the world, and governments, businesses and individuals all are looking to do business with us. The new Zimbabwe must embrace the international community in order to secure crucial foreign investment. These projects will create jobs, and foreign investment will inject crucial cash into our economy.
