Xinua

HARARE: The Zimbabwean government refurbished chanceries and embassy buildings in seven countries last year as part of its program to improve the countryโ€™s image abroad.

The refurbished buildings are in South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique, Kenya, Malawi, Germany and the United Kingdom, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Frederick Shava said on Tuesday.

โ€œIn line with its responsibility of image building, engagement and re-engagement, the ministry managed to refurbish some of its missions and chanceries during the year 2022,โ€ Shava said in a speech read on his behalf.

Some of Zimbabweโ€™s embassies abroad have become dilapidated, while others have in the past been threatened with eviction from leased premises due to non-payment of rentals.
