HARARE, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) has extended its arms embargo on Zimbabwe for another year, while lifting travel bans and asset freezes, the EU Delegation to Zimbabwe said Wednesday.
"Following its annual review of restrictive measures in relation to Zimbabwe, the EU has lifted all provisions concerning individuals and entities while extending the arms embargo," the delegation said in a statement.
