Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, has changed his tune around trading with Western countries, saying last week that he “welcomed Western re-engagement in his country’s economy”, according to news reports.
Bloomberg News cited Mugabe as calling for strengthening of ties with multilateral institutions in his State of the Nation address last week. This included the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
He also reportedly said that Zimbabwe would seek to “repeal all laws that hamper business”, adding that the government had a plan to revive agriculture – including cotton – and expand the mining industry.
