If The Elections Are Free, Fair And Credible, The US Will Extend The Hand Of Friendship: Ambassador Nichols

United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Brian A Nichols has urged President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration to fulfil their pledge for free and fair elections on July 30. Ambassador Nichols said that a free, fair and credible election would result in the United States government extending its hand of friendship to Zimbabwe. He also revealed that Senator Jeff Flake will be one of the elections observers from the United States. Speaking on social media, Nichols said,

I am very happy and hopeful that the relationship between our two countries will grow stronger. Zimbabwe is very important, strategically to our government, and the speed with which I was confirmed and presented my credentials shows that.
The invitations of the international press, as well as international observers to cover and observe the elections, is a very important step by President Mnangagwa’s government.

As (the) U.S. government we place a high priority and standards in the way we deal and engage Civil society organisations worldwide, and our processes require rigorous oversight and auditing to ensure proper compliance will rules that govern US taxpayer funding to these organisations.
America first doesn’t mean America alone. We continue engagement especially in Africa on economic cooperation, health, education and culture and here in Zimbabwe engaging the youth in programs such as the Washington Fellowship, one of the most valuable programs we do.
