Bongani Ndlovu, Online Reporter 

PRESIDENT Mnangagwa will today witness the official handover of the wheat and fertiliser donation, by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Zimbabwe, His Excellency Nikolai Vladimirovich Krasilnikov at the Grain Marketing Board Depot in Aspindale Park, Harare.

Zimbabwe is among six African countries that are expected to receive about 50 000 tonnes of grain free of charge from Russia as part of efforts to improve food security.

The relationship between Zimbabwe and Russia continues to grow as the Second Republic under the stewardship of President Mnangagwa has been keeping its engagement and re-engagement drive on a positive trajectory culminating in agreements with several countries in a bid to bolster cooperation across various sectors.

The development is a fulfillment of a promise made by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 15th BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa last year in August.
