Presented by the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, as Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on Legislation, Ziyambi Ziyambi, the major objectives of the MoU are to strengthen the friendly relations and mutual understanding between Zimbabwe and Algeria in the field of tourism.
In a post-Cabinet briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said the MoU will provide a broad framework that will guide working relations for the development and promotion of tourism for both countries.
“It will enhance cooperation in the exchange of expertise, research, and best practices in tourism development and to promote joint tourism initiatives and investments between the Republic of Zimbabwe and the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria.”
