Britain is still against Zimbabwe’s rejoining of the Commonwealth arguing that Harare needs to take further steps needed on democracy, governance and human rights.
This was said on Monday by Hamish Falconer, the United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
He, however, added that decisions on Commonwealth membership are for all member states but the UK has expressed support for a further Commonwealth assessment mission.
Zimbabwe Foreign Affairs Minister Amon MUrwira told Parliament last week that Harare had fulfilled all the steps required for the country to rejoin the Commonwealth.
On its part, Zimbabwe has done all what it is required to do.”Murwira said Britain objected to Zimbabwe rejoining the Commonwealth in January and wants to do a reassessment of the country, but so far Zimbabwe has not received a formal request from the UK.
