ZAMBIA'S High Commissioner to Zimbabwe, Sipula Kabanje says Zambia supports the efforts by Zimbabwe to revive its economy and opposes the sanctions still imposed on its southern neighbour.
And Dr Kabanje has said the Zimbabwean economy is back on the road to recovery following the dollarisation of the economy.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Harare yesterday, Dr Kabanje said it had always been Zambia's spirit to support its neighbours.
He said even now, Zambia would support Zimbabwe's efforts aimed at bringing economic stability in the country that is emerging from a period of hyper inflation.
Dr Kabanje said it was Zambia's desire to see sanctions and restrictions imposed on Zimbabwe removed as the government of national unity endeavoured to bring back peace and prosperity in the country.
He said Zimbabwe's economy was rising and the world should congratulate President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangarai for agreeing to work together.
He noted that the government of national unity in Zimbabwe was now delivering and what remained was the removal of sanctions and restrictions in order for the economy to explore more opportunities.
"President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangarai must be congratulated. These are African leaders who found an African problem which they have resolved," he said.-ZANIS
