Just like his predecessor Robert Mugabe whose penchant for travelling was evident, Emmerson Mnangagwa has developed a knack for globe trotting.

The state media have reported that Mnangagwa has left Zimbabwe for Guinea Conakry on a State visit.

The two-day visit is at the invitation of Guinea Conakry President Alpha Condé. President Condé dispatched his Foreign Minister Mamadi Toure to Zimbabwe in May this year. Mr Toure met Mnangagwa and expressed his country’s interest in developing cooperation with Zimbabwe. Soon after meeting Mnangagwa Toure told journalists that Guinea Conakry was eager to
establish a Joint Commission with Zimbabwe.

“We want to develop cooperation
starting with a Joint Commission to
explore areas of cooperation in areas
of agriculture, energy, construction and so on. We want to explore areas where we can cooperate for the benefit of both countries.

Ours is a very old relationship which dates to the time of the struggle for independence. Guinea was on the side of Zimbabwe and many other countries who were fighting for Independence at the time.

So we want to reactivate, give new
impetus to this relationship that is
political and also economically,” said Toure.State media
