By A Correspondent- The ruling ZANU PF has said that they look forward to re-engaging Western economies including the United States of America and Europe.

Since his ascendancy to power in 2017, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been pushing his diplomatic offensive agenda meant to reengage Zimbabwe with the international community, particularly Western states whose relationship with Zimbabwe had been sour.

Party Spokesperson, Simon Khaya Moyo said that re-engagement was fundamental since it enables the party to deliver on its election promises. Moyo said:

We are looking of course at engaging the international community. We are trying to open the nation for business, we are trying to generate foreign currency, we are trying to create jobs and we are going to achieve what we set in our manifesto, it could take time.

We hope that America and Europe open doors for us, we want to negotiate with them so that we move the country forward.

The party’s manifesto promised “jobs, jobs, jobs”, houses for the citizenry, and the refurbishment of the country’s dilapidated infrastructure.

So far, the results are disappointing. To worsen matters, some challenges which were better before the elections have worsened. The country nor has an acute deficit in fuel, electricity, medicines and food. These in addition to the soaring inflation are mounting pressure on the government.

The opposition MDC blames the government for all ills whilst the ruling ZANU PF is, as usual, blaming sanctions. Moyo said:

We have done so much with a limited budget, sanctions are still with us and natural disasters have also affected us.
