HARARE - 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.
