Zimbabwean Ambassador to China Abigail Shoniwa sat down with CGTN's Cui Yingjie ahead of the Two Sessions in Beijing for an exclusive interview, sharing her views on China's drive towards high-quality development and greater opening up. She noted that China's development trajectory presents expanded opportunities for Zimbabwe, particularly in agricultural exports, mineral processing, green energy and infrastructure cooperation.

Reflecting on President Xi Jinping's reply letter to Zimbabwe's liberation war veterans, Shoniwa described it as a powerful symbol of the historic solidarity between the two nations. She reaffirmed Zimbabwe's firm support for genuine multilateralism and the one-China principle while highlighting Zimbabwe's commitment to deepening cooperation under its national development strategy.
