Despite the difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Zimbabwe remains an example of political stability and economic progress. With these words, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko appealed to the leader of the Republic of African Republic Emmerson MnantaGwa on the occasion of his birthday, writes “Sputnik Belarus.”
According to the Belarusian leader, the contribution of Mnanthagva to strengthening the statehood of Zimbabwe “difficult to overestimate”. Lukashenko indicated that Minsk and Harare’s cooperation is based on the principles of trust and mutual respect, it continues to develop in all areas and promises both countries “new promising cooperation.”
Zimbabwe is called one of the poorest countries in the world. By 2017, when Mnantagva was elected head of state, the unemployment rate in the republic reached 80-90 percent. In the same year, the national currency, the Zimbabvian dollar, was finally removed from the appeal due to hyperinflation. It was replaced by US dollars and Randa South Africa.
Earlier, Lukashenko called the traitors of all Russian artists who stopped acting in the republic after the start of the political crisis. According to him, they “cowardly fled, pursing the tail,” whereas earlier they received support for the authorities and Belarusian state awards.
