(20 Dec 2017) Zimbabwe's new president on Wednesday said his government will open the country to foreign investment after years of isolation.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa also promised "zero tolerance" against corruption to boost the troubled economy.
He was making his first State of the Nation address since taking power last month after longtime leader Robert Mugabe's resignation.
Under Mugabe, the once-prosperous southern African nation became a pariah as the United States and others imposed sanctions over rights abuses.
Laws threatening confiscation of foreign-owned businesses kept investment at bay.
Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe's "strict" visa regime will be relaxed to attract investors.
Mnangagwa will visit South Africa on Thursday to meet potential investors.
