Emmerson Mnangagwa, the president of Zimbabwe, has accepted an invitation to the coronation of King Charles III, which will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London.
On Tuesday in the nation’s capital, Harare, the President and the UK ambassador met to talk about the upcoming coronation.
Ambassador Melanie Robinson tweeted a picture of the meeting in which they also talked about trade, investment projects and the importance of peaceful, free and fair elections later in the year.
“The President has been invited and has accepted that invitation and will be travelling to London for that,” Ms Robinson is quoted as saying.
Following the implementation of land reforms during the administration of former long-time leader Robert Mugabe, Britain’s relations with Zimbabwe deteriorated.
Both the US and the EU continue to impose sanctions on organisations and leaders in Zimbabwe, including President Mnangagwa.
