star this property answer text <p>​We regularly discuss Zimbabwe's serious economic problems with its government, including rising inflation fuelled by monetary financing of the budget deficit. We agree with the May 2017 IMF recommendations for the government to take urgent action to curtail public expenditure and refrain from further central bank financing. Zimbabwe urgently needs to embark upon a comprehensive package of reforms through full re-engagement with the International Financial Institutions. We have been clear that this will require genuine commitment to reform in both the economic and governance spheres. Our Ambassador in Harare raised this with the Minister of Finance in April.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​The British Government is deeply concerned about the human rights situation in Zimbabwe, particularly the continuing harassment and detention of political activists ahead of Presidential elections in 2018. We frequently raise our concerns with the Zimbabwean government, urging it to end abuses and restore internationally accepted standards. Our Ambassador in Harare most recently raised these concerns with the Zimbabwean Foreign Ministry on 17 June and officials in London raised them with the Zimbabwean Embassy on 19 June.</p> more like this

We share a concern about the risks of the elections not being free and fair, especially because of voter registration, human rights violations and restrictions on political activity. The EU is funding a UNDP programme to support the elections in 2018, which we regularly review and discuss with EU counterparts.</p> more like this

Officials have also met Chief of Defence Staff General Chiwenga.</p><p>These dramatic political events were clearly triggered by a military intervention. But the most important thing now is that Zimbabweans are able to exercise their constitutional right to elect a civilian government. This can only happen through free and fair elections. A re-establishment of a civilian-led government with a clear separation between the party and the state must be a priority. The UK has made this clear to the Government of Zimbabwe.</p><p> </p> more like this
