Mugabe meets Malaysian PM

President Robert Mugabe is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on a working visit.

The President, who is accompanied by the First Lady Dr Grace Mugabe, was met by Zimbabwe's ambassador to Malaysia Cuthbert Zhakata and embassy staff.

Meanwhile, Mugabe has held bilateral talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Mr Najib Razak in Putrajaya in Malaysia this Friday.

The two leaders discussed issues relating to bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

As developing countries, the two share similar views on the reform of the United Nations and the need for fair trade on the global arena.

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Dr Joram Gumbo who is in President Mugabe's delegation said he is on the second leg of scouting for partners for the national airline Air Zimbabwe which has been facing many challenges and a huge debt.

Dr Gumbo said he is in Malaysia to learn some of the best business practices that the Asian country is renowned for.

He said Zimbabwe can also draw some lessons on how the Asian country has managed to cope following the some mishaps that include the disappearance of flight MH370 on the 8th of March 2014.
