The award reflects that
Zimbabweans are satisfied by the work I am doing here together with my staff. I hope to continue with the good work and strengthen relations between our countries this year.”
As a diplomat, Ambassador Xin said, his duty was to serve the people of Zimbabwe and to provide more support to Harare. He said he was also there to serve Chinese working in Zimbabwe and to assist delegations exchanging visits between the two countries.
Ambassador Xin said last year more than 50 delegations visited Zimbabwe while 25 Zimbabwean delegations visited China.
He said the exchange visits were aimed at exploring ways of trade and co-operation.
“During my stay in Zimbabwe, I realised that even ordinary Zimbabweans in the streets and supermarkets now know me because of my ability to speak local language. They always call me Mr Chakanaka-Chakanaka.”
