President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Tuesday encouraged the Zimbabwe Defence Forces to remain watchful in fighting contemporary threats to the country’s defence and security.
Speaking at the National Sports Stadium during the commemorations of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces day, the Commander-in-chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) said that peace and security were essential in the achievement of the country’s Agenda 2030. He said:
I further urge you to remain resourceful and vigilant towards enhancing and guarding against contemporary threats to our country’s defence and security. In this regard, economic instability, moral decadence and social instability are among the factors that can threaten our national security. I exhort you, therefore to appropriately meet the demands towards the attainment of Vision 2030 with zeal and dedication.
Mnangagwa also applauded the defence forces for ensuring the prevalence of peace and stability in the country since the attainment of independence in 1980 and also in the region with the United Nations.
