Zimbabwe’s foreign policy under Emmerson Mnangagwa has shifted from focusing on the political towards the economic. It has been designed to aid economic recovery, facilitate economic growth, create employment and encourage a climate conducive for attracting investors to the country. This paper asserts that Zimbabwe’s foreign policy under Mnangagwa is a combination of pragmatism, realism and neoliberalism. It also identifies the patterns of change and continuity over both space and time analysing Zimbabwe’s relations with Africa, China and Russia which continue in the tradition of the previous regime. In terms of change, Harare realises the centrality of Western states such as the UK, the US and European Union countries. It is also mindful of the need for new alliances and investment partners as well as the necessity to reintegrate into global society.
