President Emmerson Mnangagwa has promised to continue working for the country until it gets back on its feet, Harare Post can report.

The President said this on his Twitter handle whilst in Dubai at the 5th Global Business Forum on Africa where he is seeking to attract investors to invest in re-building Zimbabwe’s economy.

“In Dubai, sharing our story and incredible potential with entrepreneurs and investors, particularly in the crucial sectors of fuel and power. I will continue to toil both at home and abroad to put Zimbabwe back on its feet!” President Mnangagwa tweeted.

Whilst in Dubai, at the 5th Global Business Forum on Africa, the President also expressed that Zimbabwe’s economy was not performing well for the past 20 years owing to the effects of sanctions.

President Mnangagwa said the country was not being supported by International Financial Institutions like the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the past 20 years.

Zimbabwe is set to benefit a lot from the effort that is being made to engage the international community. The re-engagement efforts have opened up various opportunities for investors in line with the country’s open for business policy.

A number of economic sectors in the country have investment opportunities such as mining, agriculture, industry and energy sectors. The 5th Global Business Forum on Africa which ends today in Dubai will leave investors with information on investment opportunities in Zimbabwe.
