Zimbabwe re-engages West, snubs opposition partners

President Robert Mugabe's administration has disregarded the country's opposition, as it revives efforts to restore relations with the West.

Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa will this week lead a high-powered government delegation to Europe for discussions with Zimbabwe's foreign creditors, as well as negotiations for support from Western countries, as Zimbabwe moves towards re-entry into the global financial system.

MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu said his party was not aware of the current negotiations that Chinamasa was attending, but was quick to pour cold water on the efforts.
