Many thanks to Botswana’s Vice President & Finance Minister, Ndaba Gaolathe, for his terrific briefing to the Canada #CPA & HC @AristildeCanada on Botswana’s economic diversification & transformation program. Canada values its strong & growing trade relationship with Botswana.

The 🇿🇼 Environmental Law Organisation @ZELO_Infor congratulates @CanEmbZimbabwe for successfully hosting the screening of “Seducing Doctor Lewis” last night at Alliance Francaise de Harare. The interesting plot accurately depicts the plight of marginalised communities as they court investment and pursue development. Many a time, communities sacrifice themselves, stretch the truth, over compromise and accept lopsided contracts to tie down investments. In the end, they must find value in this development. A powerful story well presented with just the right amount of humour! Well done and thumbs up for a full movie house! @ItalyinZimbabwe @SwedeninZW @unwomenzw @unescoROSA @euinzim @SwissEmbZim @FranceZimbabwe

A vibrant evening with a large turnout at our #Francophonie2026 reception and screening of🎬📽️La Grande Séduction @AFHarare . Rich conversations and a warm atmosphere that reflect the values of La Francophonie: diversity, solidarity, and cultural exchange. #CulturalDiplomacy
