Zimbabwe to open new Chinese-built parliament

Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa will on Wednesday formally open a new 650-seat parliament in the capital, Harare, that was funded by China.

President Mnangagwa will use the occasion to deliver a state of the nation address, the state-run Herald newspaper reports quoting the clerk of parliament.

The finance minister will on the next day present the 2023 national budget, the newspaper adds.

China funded the project as a gift to Zimbabwe. It houses the national assembly and the senate.

A Chinese company was behind the construction.
