Exchange With Reporters Prior to Discussions With President
Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe
July 24, 1991
President Bush. Welcome, everybody.
Q. Mr. President, are you disappointed—
President Bush. I’d like to take this opportunity just to welcome President Mugabe here to the Oval Office. I met him many years ago on a visit to his country and have seen him several times since then. But I’m just so pleased you’re with us
President Mugabe. Thanks a lot.
President Bush.—and very glad to have you here. A lot to talk about, about Africa.
President Mugabe. Yes, of course.
President Bush. Any anything else, too, I might add.
South Africa
Q. President Mugabe, do you support President Bush’s decision to lift sanctions against South Africa?
President Mugabe. I support his concern about South Africa, his repeated concern that there must be human rights, and the fact that he imposed sanctions against South Africa and still maintains quite a lot of sanctions against South Africa in spite of the relaxation that has taken place.
President Bush. That’s what I call a very tactful answer and a very good answer, too, I might add. [Laughter]
NOTE: The exchange began at 11:03 a.m. in the Oval Office at the White House.
