“Zimbabwe is a good ally of Russia on the African continent, with whom we have developed strong and reliable friendly ties,” Putin said.
He added that Russia highly appreciates Mnangagwa’s personal contribution to strengthening comprehensive cooperation.
In response, Emmerson Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe expresses Russia’s solidarity in a special military operation in Ukraine.
In addition, Zimbabwe is expected to deliver a second batch of Russian helicopters.
“I want to assure you that Zimbabwe is ready to accept new Russian investors who can take advantage of the huge opportunities that exist in agriculture, lithium mining, energy, as well as infrastructure development,” Mnangagwa stressed.
