President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Ambassador Ignatius Graham Mudzimba as Zimbabwe’s ambassador to the Republic of Belarus.

Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Misheck Sibanda made the announcement under General Notice 1132 of 2023, published in an Extraordinary Government Gazette on Monday.

“It is hereby notified that His Excellency the President has, in terms of sections 110(2)(i) and 204 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, appointed Mr. Ignatius Graham Mudzimba as ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Belarus,” Dr Sibanda said.

Before this appointment, Ambassador Mudzimba was Zimbabwe’s representative to Cuba and the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.

Zimbabwe and Belarus established diplomatic relations in 1992 and ties between the two countries have been growing since.

Belarus President, Aleksandr Lukashenko paid a reciprocal State visit to Zimbabwe early this following Mnangagwa’s visit to that country in 2019.

The two countries have entered into agreements in various sectors that include mining and agriculture with Belarus supplying tractors, heavy duty trucks, mining equipment and fire-fighting equipment among others.
