President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday met Zimbabwean ambassadors accredited to various countries at State House as part of efforts to strengthen the alignment of the country's diplomatic work with national development priorities.

The engagement formed part of a broader series of strategic briefings aimed at updating envoys on the country's recent economic, political, and social developments under the Second Republic.

The diplomats, who are currently in Zimbabwe for consultations, also attended the 22nd Zanu-PF Annual National People's Conference held in Mutare last week, where the ruling party reviewed progress on its policies and outlined key targets in pursuit of Vision 2030 - the Government's goal to achieve upper middle-income status within the next five years.

Following the State House meeting, the ambassadors are expected to return to their respective missions carrying the President's message, which underscores Zimbabwe's development trajectory, reform agenda, and investment potential.

Officials said the briefings were part of efforts to ensure that Zimbabwe's foreign missions effectively promote the country's interests abroad in line with national priorities, including economic diplomacy, re-engagement, and international cooperation.

President Mnangagwa is also expected to see off newly appointed ambassadors, while others who have been reassigned will begin their new tours of duty.

Government sources said the meetings reflect a continued emphasis on strategic diplomacy - positioning Zimbabwe's missions as key drivers of trade promotion, tourism growth, and investment attraction as the country advances toward its Vision 2030 targets.
