Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 59563, member: 636"] Japan has endorsed Zimbabwe's campaign for a United Nations Security Council non-permanent position during the 2027-2028 period. Speaker Fukushiro Nukaga communicated this backing to visiting Zimbabwean Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda during bilateral discussions in Tokyo. The Japanese support strengthens an international coalition that already features commitments from China, Russia, India, Cuba, Palestine, the Southern African Development Community, and the African Union. Both parliamentary leaders established plans for a Zimbabwe-Japan Parliamentary Friendship Association while exploring digital legislative modernization and enhanced economic partnerships. The diplomatic exchange highlighted Zimbabwe's upcoming participation in Expo 2025 Osaka and President Mnangagwa's anticipated attendance at the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development.
