"I leave with fond memories of collaboration and genuine connection between Iran and Zimbabwe," he said. "Some of the MoUs signed during President Raisi's visit are now being implemented, particularly in the area of science and technology cooperation. We are exchanging delegations and working closely with Zimbabwe to transfer technology that supports the country's development goals."
Opportunities for Growth
Vice President Chiwenga acknowledged the significance of Iran's economic and industrial advancements, noting the opportunities these developments present for Zimbabwe and Africa. He highlighted the need for continued dialogue and cooperation in areas such as trade, agriculture, and technological innovation.
"Iran has reached impressive levels of economic and industrial development, and Zimbabwe stands to benefit from tapping into their expertise," VP Chiwenga said. He also praised Ambassador Navazani's contributions to fostering stronger ties and underscored the role of diplomacy in driving economic cooperation.
