THERE is a conducive business environment in Zimbabwe despite misconceptions being peddled by the private media, Zanu-PF national chairman Cde Simon Khaya Moyo has said.
Speaking to American businessmen who paid a courtesy call on him yesterday, Cde Khaya Moyo said there were investment opportunities for foreigners in various sectors.
"Opportunities are tremendous here, you can do business in areas like mining, transport, tourism and energy among a host of other opportunities," he said.
"There are all types of resources and we want good people to do business here. We are humane and we mean well.
"We have to live together in peace and harmony. We believe if people continue to misrepresent facts about Zimbabwe they will not enter the kingdom."
Members of the delegation said they were disappointed when the United States imposed illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Head of delegation Mr Elzie Higginbottom said they had seen a lot of opportunities in Zimbabwe. He said they wanted to create synergies with local business people.
"We are looking at partnerships to expand business opportunities between the two countries," said Mr Higginbottom.
"We have had a positive impression of the country and we want to explore more business ventures. There are a lot opportunities here. We have spoken to a number of business people and things are looking good."
Retired Congressman Mel Reynolds, who was part of the delegation, said there was a lot that had not been said about Africa.
He said African countries had not enacted racial laws after winning independence.
"They are not moved by retribution and this has not been said," said Mr Reynolds.
"We also want to help you for the 2013 (UN World Tourism Organisation General Assembly)." Mr Reynolds paid tribute to former Zimbabwe ambassador to China, Cde Chris Mutsvangwa, for linking up business people from the two countries.
