Australians ready to invest in Zimbabwe

The Australian government says trade between Harare and Canberra can only improve once the country upholds human rights and improves its doing business environment, Australian ambassador to Zimbabwe Suzanne McCourt has said.

McCourt said as part of improving linkages between Zimbabwe and Australia, the embassy is engaging with government and other stakeholders in discussions on how to officially develop the interrelations as well as bring more Australian investment to Zimbabwe.

She said Australian investors are ready to invest in the country if Harare is promoted as a competitive investment destination.

Implementation of the new constitution was also cited as one of the ways to practically attract investment.
