“CAA3 is an extension of the trust bestowed to us by Zimbabwe. We have an obligation to continue servant leadership and accountability. Our stewardship must be measured by the betterment of Zimbabwe,” he said.
The President said addressing national challenges required coordinated action across Government, urging leaders to adopt a whole-of-Government approach in developing practical solutions.
“National responsibility requires a whole-of-Government approach hence, we should put our hands together and develop practical solutions,” he said.
President Mnangagwa said the economy was continuing to improve, while the Government’s drive towards value addition and beneficiation was gaining momentum.
“Our economy continues to improve and thus building towards sustainable development. Our value addition and beneficiation agenda continues to gain momentum, which sees us enhancing our economic sovereignty,” he said.
He also highlighted Zimbabwe’s participation at the United Nations General Assembly, saying the engagement provided an opportunity to reaffirm the country’s commitment to multilateralism and peace.
“My recent participation at UNGA provided a crucial platform for us to reaffirm our commitment to multilateralism and peace,” President Mnangagwa said.
He said Zimbabwe remained ready to deepen cooperation with the international community while advocating for reforms that would create a fairer and more representative global order, particularly for the Global South.
