April 11, BPN. During a meeting with Zimbabwe’s first lady Auxillia Mnangagwa on April 11 in Minsk, Alaksandr Łukašenka said he was ready to help her country “to implement projects for the construction of high-tech enterprises,” his press office reported.

Łukašenka said the Zimbabwean president had asked him to help create a system “similar to that in Belarus for birth attendance and assistance for children, especially newborns, and to solve the problem of baby food.” “Women and children are a priority, as Emmerson [Mnangagwa, Zimbabwean president] told me more than once during my visit to your country,” he said.

Łukašenka asked her to tell the Zimbabwean leader, who had requested that he “discuss the implementation of joint projects with the UAE and Russia, that there were no rejections in any field.”

Judging by a photo published by Łukašenka’s press office, during the meeting Auxillia Mnangagwa was accompanied by Belarusian Health Minister Dźmitryj Pinievič, Republican Clinical Medical Center head Iryna Abielskaja, and businessman Alaksandr Zinhman.

Zimbabwe’s first lady arrived in Belarus about a week ago. She has visited a number of healthcare companies and organizations, including the Republican Clinical Medical Center of Łukašenka’s Property Management Office, the Mother and Child сenter, the Republican Children’s Medical Rehabilitation Hospital in Astrašycki Haradok, etc.

Alaksandr Łukašenka visited Zimbabwe from January 30 to February 1. Some 20 cooperation agreements were signed between Belarus and Zimbabwe during the visit.

On March 27, Zimbabwe opened an embassy in Minsk.
