The meeting we had (with President Mnangagwa) was positive and I believe if the reforms that have been announced and are ongoing continue, then our relationship will grow stronger by the day,” Mr Nichols said.
“We are committed to improving the relationship bilaterally and internationally. This is a country that has a great history and tradition and one that should be a leader in the region.
“It should be an economic powerhouse. I know there is a great deal of interest in our private sector in Zimbabwe and a great deal of interest in the democratic reforms that are ongoing and elections that will soon take place.”
Asked what the recent meeting between the Zimbabwean Government and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) officials meant, he said: “The most important step is progress in economic and democratic reforms, the security that investors require to put their money here.
“That is something that depends not on anyone in Government, but individual investors and they are most committed to that. We will see that in the future.”
OPIC is the US government’s development finance institution.
