The President also expressed satisfaction on the improving bilateral ties, and said that he was confident the two countries would see a new chapter of relations at a high level in both bilateral and international spheres.

Emmerson Mnangagwa won the election on Friday (August 3) by gaining 50.8 percent of the votes.
