night.
The meeting was called by British Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Mr Mark Simmonds.
Zimbabwe was represented by Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa, Regional Integration and International Co-operation Minister Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga and Energy and Power Development Minister Elton Mangoma.
The sincerity of the British was called into question over the weekend after a 10-point Communiqué titled “Friends of Zimbabwe, 2013 Draft Communiqué” was leaked to the media before the meeting had even been held.
The communique also exposed Britain’s intentions to gate-crash observation of forthcoming harmonised elections despite Zimbabwe’s decision to bar countries that have imposed illegal sanctions on the country from any involvement in the polls.
