Thank you @MoFA_ZW for hosting me and @PeteVowles upon the conclusion of our tour of duty. Progress in #diplomacy primarily depends on how much trust a head of mission is granted. #zimbabwe has been stellar in this regard. Thank you!

🚌You have not truly lived until you board a Zim bus.
Last night, Ambassador Rey launched Zimbabwe by Bus - a book & exhibition on the stories, struggles & laughter carried daily.
In Switzerland? Panic at 1 min late. In Zimbabwe? The bus carries life itself. @friendshipbench
