HARARE - The US says it will only return to talks to resolve Zimbabwe's $17-billion debt if key reforms are made.
It comes as its new Ambassador Pamela Tremont takes up office in the country after a three-year vacancy.
She says a key reform is the restoration of human rights.

Tremont begins her tenure amid widespread outrage over a second bail denial for 77 opposition activists.
She says she will push President Mnangagwa on the issue, adding she's not in the country to play golf.
