ED Holds Teleconference With World Leaders
President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday night held a teleconference with several African Heads of States, French President Emmanuel Macron and World Health Organisation (WHO) director-general Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus to discuss the coronavirus global pandemic.
The meeting was convened by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is the current African Union (AU) chair.
The leaders resolved to strengthen the fight against the coronavirus and also to work together in lobbying global support for debt relief and a financial package for African countries to save lives.
Speaking to The Sunday Mail last night, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Ndavaningi “Nick” Mangwana said the meeting came out with several resolutions that could be positive for Zimbabwe. Said Mangwana:
This was a very enlightening meeting that came out with several resolutions that could be positive to Zimbabwe.

Our President suggested during the conference that when the Global Fund for coronavirus is disbursed, ministers from the Bureau countries should hold such teleconferences so that they can share strategies.
President Kagame is the one who brought in President Macron into the teleconference and the African leaders raised the issue that the French president should take their concerns to G20 member states.
The G20 countries have not been activating some of the recommendations that they have previously made such as on climate change and other matters.
Other African Heads of State who attended the teleconference include presidents Paul Kagame (Rwanda), Uhuru Kenyatta (Kenya), Felix Tshisekedi (Democratic Republic of Congo), Abdel Fattah el-Sisi (Egypt), Macky Sall (Senegal), Ibrahim Boubacar Keita (Mali) and Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
Chairperson of the AU Commission Dr Moussa Faki was also part of the high-level discussions.
