The new managing director of the World Bank, Horst Kohler told a briefing on Wednesday that it was clear that the World Bank could not “do business as usual” in Zimbabwe. “But on the other hand again, also in Zimbabwe there are people who want to be part of the international community so we have to try,” he said.
“There is no quick fix. But my advise is don’t drop countries, don’t drop people. We don’t have to be naive. But in the end, we are really working in one world and we should define an approach to work also with the poorest examples of cooperation,” Kohler said.
