Egypt, Russia move to strengthen defence ties

EGYPT and Russia yesterday reignited their commitment to working with Zimbabwe to develop its defence capabilities to counter contemporary threats, including the climate change crisis plaguing natural disasters and to align inter-agency security strategies to sustain peace and security across the globe.

Two countries’ ambassadors paid independent courtesy calls to Minister of Defence, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri in the capital.

Russian Federation Ambassador Sergei Berdnikov said his country is looking forward to cooperation in various spheres.

“We will have our joint work within the Security Council when the Republic of Zimbabwe assumes a non-permanent seat in the next year.

“And we’re also looking forward to our collaboration in the military sphere, in emergency response, everything concerned. And every high technology we have, we will share with our Zimbabwean friends,” he said.
