Since the Foreign Secretary's appointment, he has written to his Zimbabwean counterpart to reaffirm his commitment to working with the country in order to boost trade and investment, enhance strong people to people links and to tackle the climate crisis. As President Mnangagwa begins his role as Chairperson of SADC, the UK will continue to engage with Zimbabwe on areas of mutual importance, both through Ministers and the Embassy in Harare.
