\u201cZimbabwe and Ethiopia have a long term relationship which dates back to the time that Zimbabwe was fighting for its liberation. Ethiopia trained a lot of our guerilla to fight for liberation. Ethiopia trained our first pilot for our air force and also for our airlines. So, our relationship goes very far with Ethiopia\u201d the ambassador stated.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian airlines is flying to Zimbabwe every day of the week which is also another instrument to strengthen the cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, there is a lot of potential to boost our tourism and also a lot of potential in airlines, transportation, networks and cooperation in terms of the airline, our two national airlines, and cooperation also in the field of mining, training. So, there is a lot of potential for the two countries to cooperate and also to trade.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to the ambassador, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe should increase their area of cooperation, especially in trade using Africa\u2019s Continental Free Trade Area. \u201cThis is what we can do to enhance African development and agenda 2063.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding the discussion held between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on the margins of AU Summit, the ambassador said the two sides agreed on the way to improve their areas of cooperation and promote peace and stability in Africa.<\/p>\n

According to the ambassador, Zimbabwe is now member in the Peace and Security Council of Africa Union. Zimbabwe will play its part in promoting peace and security in Africa. \u201cThis is the only way we can realize development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding current situation in Ethiopia, he said Zimbabwe\u2019s stance is that it is up to Ethiopians to resolve their differences. There should not be any external interference in Ethiopia\u2019s affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthiopia is a great country and mature country. Ethiopians are peace loving people generally, so Ethiopians will find a way to resolve their own issues. All we can do is brothers and sisters from Zimbabwe encourage Ethiopians to resolve their problems peacefully and we\u2019re glad to see that Ethiopians are already doing that. And there should be no external interference in Ethiopia\u2019s affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
