Legislators have called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to ensure Zimbabwe is readmitted into the Commonwealth by year end.
The Ministry was also challenged to finalise and adopt a comprehensive Diaspora Policy considering input from all stakeholders. Presenting its budgetary requirement for 2019, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade said the Ministry must place special focus on the re-admission of the country into the Commonwealth. Said the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Foreign Affairs:
The Ministry should vigorously pursue re-engagements considering the new thrust of economic diplomacy. The re-engagement effort should put special focus on Zimbabwe re-joining the Commonwealth and ensure that Zimbabwe is readmitted before the end of 2019.
