Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa is planning on meeting southern African heads of state who are currently at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) in New York.
This would be the first time he has had direct conversations with some of the SADC leaders since his controversial, and disputed, election victory in August.
According to government spokesperson Nick Mangwana, Mnangagwa will have meetings with his closest allies, Ramaphosa and Nyusi. The European Union - which has since decided to cut funding to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission - the Commonwealth, and SADC's observer missions all released damning reports on the elections.
Mangwana said the Zimbabwean president would also have an audience with Andrew Mitchell, the UK Minister of State in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
