The visiting Palestine International Cooperation Agency (PICA) delegation has paid a courtesy call on the ZANU PF leadership at the party’s headquarters in Harare, where issues of strengthening fraternal relations took centre stage.
The PICA delegation’s courtesy call on the ZANU PF leadership comes at a time the organisation is in the country to capacitate local journalists through training.
“We had fruitful discussions bordering on what was discussed by our leadership on fostering the existing fraternal relations, agreed on several areas of cooperation between PLO and ZANU PF, sending expertise to train our journalists. They have learnt a lot of things from their counterparts. We want to assure the state of Palestine, ZANU PF will remain an all-weather friend since 1970 and we increase cooperation,” said ZANU PF Secretary General, Dr Obert Mpofu
Speaking to ZBC News, ZANU PF Secretary for External Affairs Cde Simbarashe Mumbengegwi said, “The state of Palestine has invested a lot in the field of education and development among their people, the liberation of their territories, they are most skilled and their presence here is testimony to this. They are here to share with us information skills.”
Palestine Ambassador to Zimbabwe Ambassador Tamer Almassri is confident of free, fair and credible elections come 23 August, while PICA delegates praised the existing cordial relations between the two countries.
The PICA team will interact with journalists in Zimbabwe ahead of general elections slated for the 23rd of August and exchange information on election reportage.
