MINSK, 14 May (BelTA) - Cooperation between Belarus and Zimbabwe is seen in Africa as a real alternative to the West’s diktat, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the talks with Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the Palace of Independence in Minsk on 14 May, BelTA has learned..
The head of state noted that Belarus and Zimbabwe are achieving tangible practical results together. One example is the joint program of mechanization of Zimbabwe's agriculture, which Aleksandr Lukashenko called a true example of honest, open and productive cooperation: "Thanks to this program, the wheat harvest in Zimbabwe has already increased more than threefold. Since 2022, Zimbabwe has been fully meeting its domestic wheat needs and has started exporting the surplus to neighboring countries (Mozambique, Botswana)."

"We continue to work with a focus on sustaining these harvests and further enhancing food security of Zimbabwe and Southern Africa as a whole. Zimbabwe is a gateway for us to other countries. By this example of our joint work, other countries of the African continent see that there is a real alternative to the exploitation and diktat of the West and transnational corporations," the Belarusian head of state said.
