Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The United States embassy in Harare has said the launch of Zimbabwe\u2019s first satellite from a NASA facility on American soil proves that the sanctions imposed by the U.S. do not limit Zimbabwe\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n

The satellite, ZimSat-1, was launched into orbit from NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Monday.<\/p>\n

It was launched under the Japanese-sponsored Joint Global Multi-Nation Birds Project-5 (BIRDS-5) network.<\/p>\n

In an e-mailed response to questions from ZimLive<\/b>, the United States said facilitating the launch of the satellite is clear evidence that targeted sanctions imposed on individual politicians and security chiefs do not affect Zimbabwe\u2019s economy. It said:<\/p>\n

The United States government supports bilateral trade and investment opportunities that benefit U.S. and Zimbabwean companies alike and promote shared economic growth.<\/p>\n

The satellite launch is a great example of international cooperation and innovation.<\/p>\n

U.S. sanctions target 73 individuals and 37 entities who cannot use the U.S. financial system.<\/p>\n

They are not designed to limit Zimbabwe\u2019s economic growth.<\/p>\n

The ZANU PF-led government blames western countries for the country\u2019s economic challenges but the west, especially the United States, argues that Zimbabwe\u2019s economic problems are caused by corruption and a breakdown in the rule of law.<\/p>\n
