Vice President Kembo Mohadi has reassured the Chinese delegates that Zimbabwe is a safe and secure tourism and investment destination, the Harare Post can report.

The reassurance came in the wake of travel warning issued by the United States of America (USA) Department of State to its citizens intending to travel to  Zimbabwe.

In his keynote address at the Zimbabwe China Business Forum in Harare today, VP Mohadi said, “Zimbabwe is just a gem, an awakening giant, a safe and secure tourism and investment destination.

“I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the Chinese delegates that Zimbabwe has unique resources across sectors and as Zimbabweans, we are of high intellect, resilient, and have a great work ethic only identical to us.”

VP Mohadi added that the unique attributes point to a resourcefulness nature and a sure guarantee of the country’s economic growth potential and a significant return to any poured investment.

The vice president also applauded the strategic partnership between Zimbabwe and Touch Road, a Chinese travel and tourism company, saying it will boost the country’s image in the world in general, and China in particular.

The US Government this week issued a travel warning level two to its citizens who intend on travelling to Zimbabwe. The travel warning was castigated by political analysts who said it was a deliberate attack on the rising tourism sector of Zimbabwe.

The Herald carried a story unmasking foreign nationals’ plot to cause civil unrest in Zimbabwe. On social media, this evil plot was linked to the travel warning issued by the US.

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has trashed the US travel advisory level two by assuring all Zimbabweans and visitors that the country is safe, peaceful and secure.

In a press statement, the ZRP said, “The ZRP is conducting general patrols, blitz, stop and searches in all Central Business Districts, industrial sites, residential areas, and other places which are usually frequented by the public with the view of getting rid of the malady criminality.”
