Tripartite Negotiating Forum is representing the country at the UCESA Malabo Meetings, a landmark three-day gathering of African Economic and Social Councils, Chinese partners, development banks, and private sector leaders held from 11 to 13 May 2026 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The meetings address Africa's most pressing development priorities: economic diversification, digital transformation and artificial intelligence, investment attraction, and the creation of decent jobs for African citizens. Zimbabwe's participation carries special weight this year, as it comes against the backdrop of a flourishing bilateral relationship between Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea built on eight MoUs signed by His Excellency President E.D Mnangagwa and President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo in 2023 and now being deepened through the inaugural Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation, with President Mbasogo visiting Harare in 2026 to advance cooperation in mining, agriculture, energy, and air transport.
