answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2023 answer text <p>The decision on whether Zimbabwe re-joins the Commonwealth is for all Commonwealth members. We recognise the value of having Zimbabwe back in the Commonwealth, but any re-entry would need to be on the basis that Zimbabwe meets admission requirements and is able to uphold the values and principles set out in the Commonwealth Charter. Zimbabwe's General Elections this August present a clear opportunity for the Government to demonstrate progress against the principles of the Charter, namely respect for human rights and freedom for the political opposition, civil society and media to operate.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/06/2023 09:17:51 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
