THE new Government will use its mandate to double down and leapfrog people-centred transformative projects that leave no one and no place behind in line with Vision 2030.
In his keynote address at the High-Level Government Meeting on Moving the Country Forward Towards #Vision2030 in Harare on Thursday, President Mnangagwa said his second term would focus on accelerating socio-economic development.
“This High-Level Retreat, therefore, affords us the opportunity to develop a common understanding of my administration’s people-centred transformative agenda,” he said.
“As I stated in my inauguration address, the 2023 harmonised general elections are behind us. The second term of the Second Republic must, therefore, reflect our determination to leapfrog the socio-economic development, modernisation and industrialisation of our country, through high-impact results.”
Sanctions, he said, should not hinder the country ‘s progress but inspire Government to excel notwithstanding the debilitating conditions.
“Although we are under the albatross of the heinous illegal sanctions, this must never limit us. We must have a mentality that this is normal and achieve even greater success. The innovation and ingenuity that has seen us realise unprecedented results, across all sectors, should be scaled up.”
The retreat was attended by Government Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and other senior Government officials.
