Addressing a military parade on Tuesday, President Robert Mugabe condemned a 2002 arms embargo by the US and EU that imposed an export prohibition to Zimbabwe on weapons and police equipment.
The embargo covers the sales, supply or transfer of technical aid related to military equipment and systems. As a result Zimbabwe is pushing for the embargo to be lifted.
US and EU diplomats this week sharply criticized Mugabe's call for lifting of the arms embargo.
