Zimbabwe’s message at #UNGA81 was unmistakable: sovereignty must be respected, international law applied fairly, and diplomacy chosen over confrontation. President Mnangagwa placed cooperation and shared prosperity at the centre of Zimbabwe’s global engagement. 🇿🇼🌍 #Vision2030 #AsakhiZim #NDS2 #ZimAtUNGA81

That line about the farmer losing another harvest hits home. Climate shocks, wars and technological disruption may look like separate problems, but their consequences cross borders quickly. Cooperation is no longer diplomatic courtesy; it is a necessity. 🌍🇿🇼 #Vision2030 #AsakhiZim #NDS2 #ZimAtUNGA81

WE MEET DURING A PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN THE WORLD IS FACING NUMEROUS, INTER-CONNECTED AND COMPLEX CRISES"

"Conflicts are spreading, climate shocks are intensifying, and technology is advancing faster than the rules that govern it.

As the current crop of leaders, it should concern us that today, somewhere, a child is born into war, a family is displaced by conflict, a farmer loses another harvest to drought, and a young person wonders whether technological progress will expand opportunity or deepen inequality. Though separated by geography, these experiences reveal a common truth: humanity's challenges are increasingly interconnected, and no nation can overcome them alone."

— H.E. President Mnangagwa

@edmnangagwa Congratulations on such a brilliant speach sir 👏🇿🇼 Zimbabwe is proud

[President of Zimbabwe @edmnangagwa]

Today, I had the honor of addressing the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly under the theme: "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation." 🇺🇳🇿🇼

In a world facing intensifying climate shocks and conflict, humanity’s challenges know no borders. No nation can overcome them alone. To restore global trust, international law must be applied universally—not 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 The outdated "horse and rider" mentality and unilateral coercive measures have no place in modern global discourse.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.

🌍⚖️ A clear message from Zimbabwe’s UNGA81 address: international law should be applied consistently and without double standards. In an increasingly divided world, equal application of agreed rules remains central to trust, cooperation and multilateralism. 🇿🇼🇺🇳 #ZimAtUNGA81 @president

@MoFA_ZW 🇿🇼🤝 A new diplomatic bridge has been built. Zimbabwe’s ties with the Sovereign Order of Malta open fresh avenues for cooperation in health, humanitarian assistance and community development. The value will be in turning diplomacy into tangible results. 🌍

[President of Zimbabwe @edmnangagwa]

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.

@UNHumanRights @UN @volker_turk Peace is the foundation on which everything else is built. As leaders gather at #UNGA, the challenge is to turn dialogue into action, prevent conflicts before they escalate and create conditions where people can live with dignity, security and opportunity.

A notable step in Zimbabwe’s multilateral engagement. 🇿🇼🌍 The BBNJ Agreement provides for fair benefit-sharing from marine genetic resources, capacity-building and marine technology transferareas relevant even to landlocked states. #UNGA81 #ZimAtUNGA81

[Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Int Trade @MoFA_ZW]

Today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Hon. Prof. dr. Amon Murwira, deposited the instrument of ratification for the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (the BBNJ Agreement) during the Treaty Event of the 81st Session of UNGA.

Depositing the instrument of ratification for the High Seas Treaty guarantees that landlocked Zimbabwe plays an active role in global ocean governance under its "𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐞" doctrine.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬:

☑️ Resource Equity: It legally ensures that landlocked nations like Zimbabwe share equally in the economic and scientific benefits of marine genetic resources found in international waters.

☑️ Technology & Science Transfer: The treaty opens direct pathways for Zimbabwe to access advanced marine scientific research and capacity-building programs, supporting Education 5.0.

☑️ Climate Protection: Legally binding ocean conservation helps stabilize global weather patterns, directly shielding Zimbabwe’s inland, agriculture-reliant economy from climate anomalies.
