Mugabe back from New York

The President, Robert Mugabe has returned home from New York, United States where he attended the 71st United Nations General Assembly.

He was received at the Harare International Airport by the two vice presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela  Mphoko, Minister of Defence Sydney Sekeramayi, Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Chris Mushohwe, several other cabinet ministers and senior government officials.

In his address during debate at the general assembly on Wednesday, President Mugabe said Zimbabwe is fully committed to the implementation of the agenda 2030 adopted by the united nations member countries last year.

He added that Zimbabwe has even aligned the agenda with the country's economic blueprint, the ZIM ASSET, but the punitive and heinous sanctions imposed on the country are the biggest impediment to the full realisation of the agenda.
