PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe returned from China on Sunday to a thunderous reception after a week in the Asian nation on a state visit where he witnessed the signing of various memoranda of understanding that are set to facelift the country's economy.
The agreements will see the emerging global giant from Asia providing financial support for the much needed economic enablers in critical sectors that include energy, roads, national railway network, telecommunications, agriculture and tourism as part of the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZIMASSET).
President Mugabe was received at the Harare International Airport by Vice President Joice Mujuru and several government ministers and officials including thousands of youths who thronged the airport to give him a resounding reception following his successful Chinese tour.
Last week, the Zanu PF youth chairman for Harare province, Godwin Gomwe called on the youths from around the country to go to the Harare International Airport on Sunday to welcome President Mugabe after his landmark visit to China.
Gomwe, who was speaking to the ZBC News, said "It is very uplifting to note that Mugabe was accorded the highest possible honour ever accorded to a visiting head of state in China. It is also notable that His Excellency was given a 21-gun salute as well as a fly past."
The President went to China in the company of the First Lady, Grace Mugabe, Finance and Economic Development Minister Patrick Chinamasa and other government ministers.
