Foreign Policy
Zimbabwe's foreign policy is defined by the 'Look East' policy adopted under Mugabe in response to Western sanctions and isolation. China is the dominant economic partner, providing infrastructure investment, mining capital, and diplomatic cover at the UN Security Council. Russia has also become a closer partner, with Zimbabwe supporting Russian positions on Ukraine and other issues.
Within SADC and the AU, Zimbabwe maintains strong liberation-era solidarity with South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, and Angola. The government's anti-Western rhetoric, particularly regarding sanctions (which Zimbabwe frames as illegal and neo-colonial), is a recurring theme in international forums. Mnangagwa's 're-engagement' strategy has produced limited results, with the EU maintaining targeted sanctions and the US renewing Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act measures.
