A spokesman for the summit, who requested anonymity said the resolution encouraged President Robert Mugabe and the leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, Morgan Tsvangirai, to initiate dialogue with a view to promoting peace and stability. Earlier, Mugabe spokesman George Charamba told reporters that the UK and the West can "go hang" over its criticism of the Zimbabwean president.
