Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Former Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano has warned Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa that the Zimbabwean government needs to shake off its unfavourable reputation on the international stage before it can normalize relations with its creditors.<\/p>\n

Chissano has been appointed to facilitate Zimbabwe\u2019s dialogue on governance reforms required by creditors to solve the country\u2019s enormous debt crisis.<\/p>\n

According to the Zimbabwean \u201cNewshawks\u201d publication, Zimbabwe has adopted a new debt strategy \u201cwhich will be anchored on restoring relations with both multilateral and bilateral creditors\u201d.<\/p>\n

The dialogue with creditors, Chissano said, \u201cwill be anchored on three pillars \u2013 namely, economic reforms, political governance reforms, and the compensation of former commercial farmers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Former Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano addressing Zimbabwe\u2019s Second Structured Dialogue Platform Meeting on the country\u2019s Arrears Clearance and Debt Resolution process at Meikles Hotel, Harare, today.<\/p>\n

Chissano said he has already held extensive consultations, with officials from the Zimbabwean government, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the African Development Bank (ADB), and representatives of the United Nations system, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ongoing reform embodied in this structured dialogue platform requires the building of trust between the Government of Zimbabwe and its development partners\u201d, said Chissano. \u201cThis is so critical in the current situation where such trust has ben broken due to the decades of political mistrust\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistory is there, but it should not hold the process hostage\u201d, he added. \u201cIt should be set aside and allow for a re-engagement process that is anchored in pursuit of the building of trust. Such a process requires managing perceptions and misconceptions which have often stood in the way of reality, undermining the possibility of a meaningful and substantive engagement\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMisconceptions are a reality on both sides, and should be addressed for the process to take its smooth course\u201d, Chissano said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother problem raised\u201d, he continued, \u201cwas the need to address Zimbabwe\u2019s prevailing reputation problem. There is a perception that in some cases the government does not honour agreements and commitments made\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, it was underscored that for all development partners, issues such as the guarantee of property rights and investment protection agreements are critical, as well as the ability to repatriate profits and economic stability\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestments will not come to Zimbabwe, if these conditions are not met\u201d, warned Chissano.<\/p>\n
