President Ram Nath Kovind today said India-Zimbabwe bilateral trade of USD 170 million is way below potential, and the two countries need to work together to strengthen trade and economic relations.

During a meeting with Vice President of Zimbabwe General (Retd) Constantino Chiwenga, he said India's approach to its partnership with Africa is consultative and participatory.

"It is driven by the aim of empowerment, capacity building, human resource development, access to the Indian market and support for Indian investments in Africa," Kovind said.

Chiwenga had called on the president at Rashtrapati Bhavan here.

Asserting that India-Zimbabwe bilateral trade of USD 170 million is way below potential, Kovind said, "We need to work together to strengthen our trade and economic relations."
