ZANU PF along with several other global political parties have taken a solidarity stand with Russia in its quest to end the dollar hegemony.
Meeting during a virtual meeting of the Organising Committee of the Forum of Supporters Against Modern Practices of Neo-colonialialism, Secretary for External Relations Cde Simbarashe Mumbengegwi who was representing the National Chairman Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, said when the journey began, it was meant to checkmate threats to international security hence the need to ensure that this is achieved.
“When we gathered not so long ago in our inaugural constituent session, we set out on a journey, seeking to checkmate contemporary forms of imperialism and colonialism which are threatening international security including that of the Russian Federation,” Cde Mumbengegwi said.
“I am confident that the issues we are addressing in the forthcoming constituent Forum of Supporters Against Modern Practices scheduled for October cover a wide range of challenges confronting the rest of the world due to the nefarious activities and machinations of imperial forces.
“We must therefore make a deliberate and strategic decision as members of the international community to ensure that we will play a larger and long-term role in shaping international affairs, now and in the future in close partnership. After all, all our countries have a profound interest in the emergence of a peaceful and prosperous international community.”
Also speaking during the meeting the Chairman of the United Russia Party Cde Medvedev noted that the “colonialism in its new form is becoming a challenge for many countries and that the false rhetoric about human rights by the United States of America is causing great harm.”
Henrique Fontana of the Labour Party of Brazil said the “consolidation of our efforts in fighting Neo-colonialialism is necessary. The society now understands the neo-liberal consequences and so there is need for a real productive engagement.”
Representatives from Indonesia, Venezuela, South Africa, Mozambique, Myanmar, Pakistan and Nicaragua among others called for the balance of power and reaffirmed their support to Russia in its quest for a new world order based on universal principles.
