@CdeTrababalas Agreed. πΏπΌβοΈ The real opportunity is not simply what comes out of the ground, but how much value we create before it leaves Africa. Processing, beneficiation and technology can build industries, skills and jobs closer to the source. #ZimAtUNGA81#ValueAddition#NDS2
@CrimeWatchZW Romans 13:1β2 speaks to the Christian understanding of authority as carrying a responsibility that ultimately answers to God. Leadership, therefore, should be exercised with humility, while citizens pursue change and disagreement through peaceful and lawful means. #ZimAtUNGA81
Africa is not asking to stand on the sidelines of global decision-making. The wider UNGA81 debate itself has highlighted Africaβs underrepresentation on the Security Council. Zimbabweβs message adds its voice to that continuing reform discussion. #ZimAtUNGA81#VakaZim
Today, I had the honor of addressing the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly under the theme: "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation." πΊπ³πΏπΌ
In a world facing intensifying climate shocks and conflict, humanityβs challenges know no borders. No nation can overcome them alone. To restore global trust, international law must be applied universallyβnot selectively. It cannot be a shield for some and a sword against others.
As Zimbabwe prepares to take its seat on the UN Security Council for the 2027-2028 term, we do so guided by our foreign policy: "a friend to all and an enemy to none." Our commitments are clear:
:Promoting preventive diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution.
:Strengthening UN ties with the African Union to silence the guns.
:Advancing the crucial peace and security agendas for women and youth.
True collective security means reforming the Security Council to move past 1945 realities. Africa is united, sovereign, independent, and rising. The outdated "horse and rider" mentality and unilateral coercive measures have no place in modern global discourse.
Peace cannot endure without development. Domestically, Zimbabwe is proving what is possible. Through robust reforms, our GDP has grown three-fold since 2017. Zimbabwe is open for business! We are accelerating food security through climate-smart agriculture and leaving no one and no place behind through aggressive rural industrialization.
Let us protect the UN Charter, reject selective compliance, and build a fairer, more inclusive world for succeeding generations.
I thank you.

π€ Development should never be held back by the cost of opportunity. Africa deserves fairer access to finance so its people and economies can reach their full potential. πΏπΌπ #ZimAtUNGA81
Behind one locally manufactured bus are engineers, welders, upholsterers, suppliers and families whose livelihoods depend on industry. π€πΏπΌ Supporting competitive local production can help skills and businesses grow together. #NDS2#MadeInZimbabwe
Technology becomes meaningful when a young person can use it to build a better future. Discussions around AI and research could open important opportunities for Zimbabwes students, innovators and entrepreneurs. May no community be left behind in the digital transformation #NDS2
Imagine reliable electricity supporting hospitals, schools, industries and communities around the clock. π€βοΈ Zimbabwe exploring nuclear energy is about studying another option for our long-term energy future, with safety and responsibility at the centre. πΏπΌ #NDS2#EnergySecurity
Every meaningful conversation can build another bridge. π€π H.E. President @edmnangagwa engaging at #UNGA81 gives Zimbabwe an opportunity to contribute its perspective while strengthening dialogue with the international community. πΏπΌ #ZimAtUNGA81
Every new relationship creates another opportunity to understand, cooperate and grow together. π€πΏπΌπ¦πͺ Zimbabweβs strengthening ties with the UAE can open more doors for trade, investment and shared prosperity. #ZimAtUNGA81#Vision2030
Borders should connect African people, not unnecessarily keep them apart. π€ππΏπΌπ§π― Easier travel can create opportunities for families, entrepreneurs, students and tourists to discover one another and build lasting relationships. #OneAfrica#SharedProsperity
Zimbabwe is honoured to join the international community in commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Declaration on the Right to Development.
The Declaration affirmed a fundamental principle: development is a human right, and every individual and nation must have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from development.
Forty years on, this principle remains highly relevant. Poverty, inequality, climate change, debt pressures and unequal access to technology continue to constrain the development prospects of many developing countries.
Zimbabwe therefore calls for strengthened international solidarity, greater access to affordable development finance, technology transfer and meaningful participation of developing countries.
Behind every hectare of wheat is a farmer working through the season to feed the nation. π€πΎ Manicaland surpassing its 16,000ha target is encouraging, especially with the crop reportedly performing well. May the harvest reward that hard work. πΏπΌ #NDS2#FoodSecurity
I was pleased to be invited to the 14th Annual Official First Ladies Luncheon in New York, where Zimbabwe welcomed emerging opportunities for our women and young people across fashion, tourism and the wider creative industries.
Opening international platforms for our designers, students and artisans can expand markets, create jobs and showcase Zimbabweβs rich culture, creativity and identity to the world.
@lewisuriri If you have now declined the car and financial assistance offered to you on the grounds of integrity,one must reasonably ask: why did you accept a vehicle previously offered to you,along with a holiday reportedly paid for so that you could enjoy time with your wife?
We may have no coastline, but the oceans belong to a global ecosystem that affects us all. π€π Zimbabwe joining the BBNJ framework creates opportunities for cooperation, scientific capacity-building and fairer participation in marine-resource benefits. #ZimAtUNGA81#Education5_0
