Ambassadors Foreword to the Zim-Cairo website
On behalf of the Government and the people of the Republic of Zimbabwe, it is my honour and privilege to welcome you to the official website of the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
This platform serves as a critical conduit between Zimbabwe and the international community, providing current information on our diplomatic engagements, trade and investment prospects, cultural and educational exchanges, and consular services. It is designed to reflect Zimbabwe’s commitment to meaningful global engagement in today’s digitally connected world.
As Zimbabwe’s resident Ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt and non-resident Ambassador to the State of Israel, I am privileged to represent Zimbabwe in two countries of strategic importance to both the Middle East and Africa. Our mission is dedicated to strengthening and expanding Zimbabwe’s bilateral relations with Egypt and Israel, two nations with whom we share a common vision for peace, innovation, inclusive growth, and sustainable development.
Zimbabwe and Egypt enjoy a long-standing and cordial relationship, anchored in Pan-African solidarity and reinforced through collaboration across critical sectors such as infrastructure, trade, tourism, health, and education. With Israel, we are deepening cooperation in vital areas including agriculture, water technology, health systems, and innovation. Guided by our national mantra, “Zimbabwe is Open for Business,” the Embassy continues to pursue partnerships that unlock shared value and drive economic transformation.
To the Zimbabwean diaspora in Egypt, Israel, and the surrounding region, this website also serves as your direct link to the Embassy. We remain committed to providing efficient consular services, safeguarding your interests, and keeping you connected to your roots.
I invite you to explore this platform to discover more about Zimbabwe, its welcoming and resilient people, diverse cultural heritage, stunning natural beauty, and dynamic economic potential. Whether you are an investor, tourist, academic, development partner, diplomat, or fellow Zimbabwean, I trust this site will be a useful gateway to engaging with Zimbabwe.
