Russian security minister in Zimbabwe

Russia State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Zubov arrived in the country yesterday for a two-day official visit during which bilateral security agreements are expected to be signed.

Zubov said there was need to strengthen police co-operation between the two countries.

As such, he said a MoU on communication and training of personnel would be signed during his visit.

This is the first ever visit of the police Ministry at such a high level from Russia to Zimbabwe.  

Zubov said the fact that many Russian delegations had come to Zimbabwe representing various sectors meant that the area of security needed to be explored.
