THE government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening engagement with Zimbabweans living abroad during a diaspora engagement meeting held in Beira, Mozambique.
Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution minister, Misheck Mugadza said the diaspora remains a strategic partner in Zimbabwe’s economic transformation and national development agenda.
“Our diaspora is an invaluable national asset. Zimbabweans living abroad possess the skills, networks, knowledge and capital that can significantly contribute to the country’s economic growth,” he said.
“The government is committed to creating an enabling environment that allows our citizens wherever they are to actively participate in national development.”
Mugadza urged Zimbabweans in Mozambique to take advantage of the country’s proximity to Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe’s Consul General to Beira, Malvern Bere, echoed similar sentiments.
“We want Zimbabweans living in Mozambique to remain connected to developments back home and to explore opportunities that contribute to national economic growth,” said Bere.
He said that Zimbabweans in the diaspora have an important role to play in promoting trade, tourism and investment.
