PRIME Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai described as “excellent” his meeting with Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos on Monday as the MDC-T leader continued with his diplomatic tour of the region.

Tsvangirai – who has already visited the DRC, Namibia, Tanzania and Zambia -- briefed the Angolan leader on the situation in the country during the 40-minute meeting in Luanda.

“The meeting was excellent as it enabled to brief the President José Eduardo dos Santos on the current situation in Zimbabwe where there is an inclusive government for about two years”, Morgan Tsvangirai told reporters.

He said while Zimbabwe has made significant progress over the tenure of the inclusive government there were some issues which still needed to be addressed.

“We hope that with the wisdom and the advice from our leaders of the region we can overcome the problems still prevailing in the country", emphasised Morgan Tsvangirai.

The MDC-T leader said President Dos Santos had expressed his availability to hold talks with regional counterparts to help Zimbabwe’s political leadership fulfill the terms of the Global Political Agreement and ensure free and fair elections.

Zimbabwe is expected to hold fresh elections later in the year to elect a substantive government amid concerns about renewed violence in the country.
