<p>I [Minister Ford] met with Foreign Minister Shava and Finance Minister Ncube in
London on 30 June and discussed political and economic issues. I [Minister Ford] noted
that the UK would like to see Zimbabwe achieve debt arrears clearance, and that this
can happen if Zimbabwe successfully completes an International Monetary Fund Staff
Monitored Programme and makes reasonable progress on political reform. Ahead of upcoming
elections in 2023 I [Minister Ford] stressed the importance of civic space, and the
need for all political parties to respect the rule of law, refrain from violence and
be able to campaign freely.</p>
