Mnangagwa Receives Guinea's Grand Cross Award

On Tuesday, Guinea Conakry President Alpha Conde decorated President Emmerson Mnangagwa with the Grand Cross award in recognition of the growing friendship and solidarity between his country and Zimbabwe.

Speaking soon after receiving the award during a banquet hosted for him by President Conde, President Mnangagwa said it was a symbol of everlasting friendship. Said Mnangagwa:

lt is indeed a great honour to receive the Grand Cross Award on this occasion of my visit to the historic Pan African country of the Republic of Guinea. I receive this esteemed award on behalf of Government and the Republic of Zimbabwe and indeed on my own behalf with great humility and pride. The Grand Cross Award is a symbol of everlasting friendship and solidarity that exists between our two countries which predates our independence.

Mnangagwa who ended his two-day State visit last night, said the friendship must translate into strong economic ties.
