Zimbabwe's leader to attend King Charles coronation

Emmerson Mnangagwa, the president of Zimbabwe, has accepted an invitation to the coronation of King Charles III, which will take place on May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London.

On Tuesday in the nation's capital, Harare, the president and the UK ambassador met to talk about the upcoming coronation.

In the meeting, they also discussed "trade, investment projects, and the importance of peaceful, free, and fair elections later this year," according to a tweet from ambassador Melanie Robinson.

The state-owned Herald newspaper quotes Ms. Robinson as adding, "The president has been invited, has accepted that invitation, and will be traveling to London for that."

Following the implementation of land reforms during the administration of former long-time leader Robert Mugabe, Britain's relations with Zimbabwe deteriorated.
