Asked by Adam JogeeLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 7 October 2024UIN 3465

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with his Zimbabwean counterpart since his appointment.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

Since the Foreign Secretary's appointment, he has written to his Zimbabwean counterpart to reaffirm his commitment to working with the country in order to boost trade and investment, enhance strong people to people links and to tackle the climate crisis. As President Mnangagwa begins his role as Chairperson of South African Development Community (SADC), the UK will continue to engage with Zimbabwe on areas of mutual importance, both through Ministers and the Embassy in Harare.
