Foreign delegates to the inaugural War Veterans League Conference have started to trickle ahead of the scheduled dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Conference being held from the 8th to the 10th of this month will witness the election of the National Executive of the War Veterans League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first foreign delegate to arrive was Palestine’s Mrs Kifah Abdalqader a member of the revolutionary council of Fatah movement and member of the Palestinian national Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her remarks shortly after landing at the Robert Mugabe International Airport Tuesday evening, she said her attendance to the War Veterans League’s Inaugural Conference was as a result of the relationship between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am very happy to arrive in the country with which we have a great and long history between the Palestine Liberation Organisation PLO and our comrades in the freedom fighters of ZANU PF. We have a common struggle and you achieved yours by announcing your independence in 1980. We are still struggling also to achieve our independence by ending the Israeli occupation in Palestine,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We want to pledge our solidarity with Zimbabwe to end the sanctions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ZANU PF Secretary of the War Veterans League Cde Douglas K Mahiya said the invitation was extended to the Palestinian Liberation Organisation PLO due to a common factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The War Veterans League at its inaugural meeting has invited the PLO. The common denominator is the struggle for freedom or independence. ZANU PF is a progressive political party. It has a mandate to give support and build a relationship with all progressive forces,” Cde Mahiya said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As a League, new as it is, we have a duty to extend our relationship with all progressive forces of the country and the PLO is one of them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More delegates are scheduled to arrive before the Conference kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference is being held under the theme “Force of the past, Power of the present, Inspiration of the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
