Germany’s government said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Tsvangirai will be received with full military honours during a visit next week. He will be hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel for talks on Monday.

The German government spokesperson said the country hopes that a new chapter of bilateral relations can be opened with Zimbabwe, after years of a cool relationship during Mugabe’s rule.
Tsvangirai's trip to Germany will follow his meeting with US President Barack Obama at the White House on Friday. But reports also suggest the Prime Minister will have some tough questions to answer at the foreign office in Berlin, over the ongoing violent land invasions and the lack of the rule of law.
