“Zimbabwe has rich uranium reserves, but is faced with lack of funds and does not possess the technical knowledge and equipment wanted for extracting rich uranium ores,” Mumbengegwi told ISNA in an interview published on Wednesday. “If we can work together on uranium mining, it will get better the economic situation of both countries,” he said. The Zimbabwean official also said that the two countries can have collaboration in the energy sector, particularly in construction of oil refineries. He went on to say that Zimbabwe is willing to buy fuel from Iran.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Zimbabwean foreign minister said it is the best time for the Iranian companies to spend in Zimbabwe, adding when a country’s economy is in a bad condition, it is the best time for making investment in that country because investors will receive many incentives. Commenting on the structure of the United Nations, Mumbengegwi said that the power is intense in the UN Security Council and the members of the council are empowered to make each decision they wish. It is not fair and more power should be move to the General Assembly which has 194 members, he said, proposing that the number of the UN Security Council should be enlarged to 26 countries. He added that the imposition of sanctions on countries should also be accepted by the General Assembly.
On the UN sanctions on Iran and Zimbabwe, he said impressive sanctions on these countries are not accidental. “The Western governments treat the governments that do not allow their dominance in this way and impose sanctions on them,” he said. “The Western governments are skilled at fabricate cause to justify their actions,” he stated, adding each unbiased observer can testify that Zimbabwe is one of the mainly democratic countries in Africa and the human rights are never violated in the country. On Iran’s nuclear program, the Zimbabwean envoy said the Western countries have formed a brouhaha over Iran’s nuclear issue, but according to the international rules all countries have the right to utilize the nuclear energy for peaceful applications.
