The wife of the President of Zimbabwe, Oxilia Mnangagwe, was given potatoes from Alexander Lukashenko's personal farmstead. This was reported in the press service of the Belarusian leader.
"On behalf of the president, a representative delegation of Belarusian women handed over potatoes from the personal farmstead of the head of state to the first Lady of Zimbabwe. These are the two most popular varieties Pershatsvet and Manifest, which were appreciated by Oxilia Mnangagwa during her visit to Belarus," the report says.
In turn, Oxilia Mnangagwa noted that there are no such varieties in Zimbabwe and at least some of the potatoes will go to the kitchen for cooking.
"When I submit this to the President (Emmerson Mnangagwa. — EADaily), I will say that this is from Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko," she said.
In addition, Oxilia Mnangagwa threw an agricultural challenge to Alexander Lukashenko.
"Tell him that this will be a competition where he will grow up better," said the first lady of Zimbabwe.
At the same time, she is confident of her victory.
It should be reminded that in recent years the Belarusian authorities have been expanding relations with the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Official Minsk has high hopes for cooperation with Zimbabwe.
