1. “Our arms remain outstretched, and our heart is one of genuine friendship and cooperation, for all who are willing to join the new and exciting journey of Zimbabwe’s rebirth. In our desire to deepen the democratic space in our country, we have established an open political platform which we have invited all political parties to share in a frank debate and dialogue on aspects of our social, political and economic reforms. Comprehensive and far-reaching reforms are being implemented by my Government for the benefit, protection and economic prosperity of our people in line with their ever-changing aspirations. In addition, with fiscal austerity and discipline we have balanced our books and achieved a budget surplus, which is unprecedented in my country.”

2. “Since I took over the leadership of Zimbabwe, much has been accomplished, including indicative recovery, stabilization and growth. Immense progress has been made towards macroeconomic and fiscal stabilization as well as high-impact projects that pave the way for private-sector-led growth. Embedded in our aspirations is a strong sense of urgency for us to eradicate poverty, achieve quality and relevant education, create employment for women and youth, and mitigate the cross-cutting impact of climate change on our society and economy. Our people deserve better and we are committed to delivering on their aspirations. Zimbabwe’s engagement and re-engagement with all countries of the world so that it can return to its rightful place within the comity of nations is yielding notable progress.”

3. “Allow me to congratulate Mr. Tijjani Muhammad-Bande on his election as President of the General Assembly at its seventy-fourth session. Zimbabwe is confident that under his able stewardship, the General Assembly will accelerate towards achieving our Organization’s objectives. May I also commend his immediate predecessor, Ambassador Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces, for having successfully presided over the seventy-third session of the General Assembly. I am addressing the General Assembly today following the sad passing of the founding father of our country, the late former President, His Excellency Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Zimbabwe is in transition and is determined to overcome the reality that we were a collapsed economy with a collapsed currency, owing to the illegal economic sanctions imposed on our country.”
