"On September 3, when Zimbabwean President Mnangagwa came to China to attend the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Co-operation and pay a State visit, China Media Group signed a memorandum of co-operation with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Information, Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation and The Herald.

"President Xi Jinping and President Mnangagwa jointly witnessed the signing of the above co-operation documents," China Media Group said.
