Dubai – His Excellency Constantine Chiwenga, First Vice President of Zimbabwe, praised the organisers of his nation’s pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai for producing an outstanding representation of the values of his country, during an official visit to Expo 2020 today.
HE Constantine Chiwenga was attending the sixth Global Business Forum Africa, which commenced today at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo 2020 Dubai, seeking to foster commercial and investment cooperation, and explore bilateral trade opportunities between the UAE and Africa.
The Vice President also visited his country's pavilion at Expo, and toured a number of other pavilions to view their innovations.
In his speech, His Excellency Chiwenga thanked the UAE for offering his nation the opportunity to be present at such a mega-event, designed to connect and exchange commercial and cultural ideas and prospects. He lauded the UAE for adding a unique dimension to the event by shedding light on arts and culture, together with the world’s latest technology.
Speaking on the impact of COVID-19 on his country, HE Constantine Chiwenga said: "The pandemic has affected the world at large, and we have striven to control it and take all necessary health measures. We have also developed and implemented an effective programme to lower infection rates."
Discussing climate change, he explained how it has caused Zimbabwe to experience a shortage of water resources, limiting the rainy season to only three months. However, he clarified that the issue is being addressed to ensure availability of this resource, not only during the rainy season, but throughout the year, to achieve water self-sufficiency by 2025.
The Vice President extolled the value of his country’s presence at Expo 2020, explaining that a World Expo of such a scale is a significant platform for bringing nations together, and that the Zimbabwe Pavilion invites everyone to benefit from the investment opportunities offered by the African country.
