President Mnangagwa announced Zimbabwe's bid for a non-permanent United Nations Security Council seat during the 2027-2028 term at a ceremony in Harare. The nation previously held Security Council positions twice, between 1983-1984 and 1991-1992. Zimbabwe's campaign operates under the banner of advancing global peace through multilateral cooperation. Elections for the position will take place next June.

The government outlined four priority areas for its potential tenure. These priorities encompass promoting international peace, supporting Africa's anti-violence initiatives, strengthening ties between the Security Council and regional organizations, and advancing women's roles in security matters. Zimbabwe has contributed peacekeeping forces to missions across multiple continents spanning several decades.

Regional bodies have endorsed the candidacy with support from SADC and the African Union. Major nations such as Russia, Cuba, and India have pledged backing for Zimbabwe's application. The president emphasized that this bid represents broader African interests rather than solely national ambitions.
