Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri and 9 other senior ZANU PF officials have flown to China. The last time Vice President Constantino Chiwenga flew there, a coup happened within days.

The 10 member delegation have traveled there for an exchanging of ideas.

In an interview before the departure of the delegation, Munyaradzi Machacha said the trip would strengthen relations between Zimbabwean and the Chinese ruling parties.

He said ZANU PF intends to learn economic policies from its chinese counterpart. He also noted that China has been doing well economically hence the need to copy and domesticate some ideas.

Machacha said, “this is part of our regular cooperation. We are two revolutionary parties that share a rich history. We want to exchange views on party building so that we can strengthen the party. – state media
