Zimbabwe needs more international support – UN

With a new administration in place and plans to hold free and fair general elections later this year, authorities in Zimbabwe are hoping to see greater international investment in their country, according to the top United Nations official in the country.

Bishow Parajuli, UN resident coordinator and resident representative for the UN Development Programme, said now was the time to support the southern African nation.

“I think the international community should be very open, the UN should be very open, to engage and partner with – and support Zimbabwe – to come out of some of the major crises they have had in the last several years so they can stand on their own,” he told UN News during a recent visit to New York.
