Welcome, Mauya, Siyalemukela, to the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe to the United States of America in Washington, DC. The Embassy is the official representative of the Government of Zimbabwe, charged with the important task of promoting, protecting and safe guarding the national interests, image and influence of the Republic of Zimbabwe in the United States of America. The Embassy is also accredited to Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama.

The mandate of the Embassy is to promote economic, social, cultural, scientific and educational cooperation between Zimbabwe and the countries of accreditation.  The Embassy’s other key function is to provide consular services to Zimbabwean and foreign nationals in the countries of accreditation as well as to facilitate and promote the Diaspora’s engagement and participation in Zimbabwe’s national development initiatives.

Zimbabwe is focused on normalizing its international relations with all nations and attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Zimbabwe.  The country offers diverse and lucrative investment opportunities  in sectors  such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, tourism, infrastructure development and services.  The economic thrust of the Second Republic is to develop Zimbabwe and attain Upper Middle-Income status by 2030, with all sectors of the economy contributing towards the realization of that goal.

Therefore, my message to all interested stakeholders in  America, Mexico, Costa Rica,  Panama and the Zimbabwe Diaspora, is that Zimbabwe is open for business and is inviting your full-hearted and active engagement in pursuing mutually beneficial partnerships.

I look forward to active interactions and deliberations with all stakeholders as we contribute towards delivering positive results for the benefit of all.

I thank you!

Ambassador Stuart Comberbach
