The United Kingdom (UK) is looking forward to working with Zimbabwe in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) as well as scaling up trade and economic cooperation with Zimbabwe.
This was said by outgoing UK Ambassador to Zimbabwe Pete Vowles after paying a courtesy call on Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga in Harare this morning.
This thawing of relations between Zimbabwe and Britain, election into the UNSC and envisaged boom in trade could further give impetus to Zimbabwe’s engagement and re-engagement drive.
Zimbabwe’s differences with other key international agencies like the European union are largely as a result of its differences with the United Kingdom.
“I congratulated the Vice President and Zimbabwe on joining the United Nations Security Council following the vote yesterday,” said Ambassador Vowles.
“The UK as a security council member, we are looking forward to working with Zimbabwe in some of the global challenges we face today – climate change, peace and security, territorial sovereignty. We talked a lot about the economic portfolio and trade between the UK and Zimbabwe.”
