U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry wrote a letter to President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, stating that the United States would consider resuming bilateral relations with the Southern African country if specific political reforms were met, UPI quoted the State Department as saying Thursday. "Secretary Kerry made it clear in his letter that the United States is prepared to revisit our bilateral relationship with Zimbabwe, but only if Zimbabwe implements needed political reforms," State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters. Zimbabwe must also "allow civil society organizations to operate freely and hold elections that are peaceful, credible, and represent the will of the Zimbabwean people," Harf added.
