I look forward to working here during my tenure to strengthen cooperation between our countries in various fields.
We will work in three areas, the first one is democracy, human rights and rule of law, the second one is health and the third one is environment and climate.
We have long history of friendship between Sweden and people of Zimbabwe and I look forward to working in all areas to enhance that friendship and work together for the prosperous development of this country.
