Zim to host investment indaba
THE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade will host the second Diaspora Investment Conference and homecoming event in Masvingo next week.
The inaugural conference was held in April last year in Bulawayo on the sidelines of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).
In a statement, the Ministry said the event is aimed at providing an interactive platform for the government, members of the Diaspora community and other stakeholders to deliberate on investment opportunities available in the country and other areas of mutual concern.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade wishes to advise that the Honourable Minister, Ambassador FM Shava, will host the Second Diaspora Investment Conference and Homecoming event at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel in Masvingo from 11 to 13 April 2024,” reads part of the statement.
The conference will be held in hybrid format and will run under the theme: “Celebrating diaspora participation through a mutually beneficial partnership for national development and sustained economic growth.”
It will include representatives of Zimbabwean diaspora associations, members of the Zimbabwe diaspora community, government ministries, provincial leadership, departments, and agencies mandated with engaging the diaspora in national development initiatives, as well as the private sector.
Hybrid meetings are meetings where some participants are located in a physical location together while others join remotely through video conferencing software. New Ziana.
